You're pretty smart GD, getting a CPO.  You lose less money that way when it's time to change cars. 

It would seem like hell getting a little one in and out of the back seat of a coupe.  I find the back seats on the 3-series coupe pretty generous and comfortable in size compared to those of other coupes, but frequent access in/out would be a royal PITA.

One question, why not a coupe Jeff?

A few answers to that one...

a)  getting the little guy in and out of the car seat in the back is just easier this way -- so it isn't worth suffering for the vanity of better styling

b)  interest rate on the sedans is better than the coupes for CPO BMWs

c)  coupes cost more and I'm a cheap ass who's supposed to be house shopping, not car shopping.


Logic and common sense have no place here  :) I went to Budds on Friday on my afternoon cruse in the S2000 and checked out a new 335 is coupe .... It is drop dead gorgeous.

Getting two kids in and out of the GC is no bother, GD's just a lazy ass.

On the one hand, I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that. On the other...I think like Saf!  :fall: :surrend:
