If you are not prepared to maintain it yourself Chetan there is a BMW specialist in Guelph who looks like the right sort of shop to do regular stuff.

Best.  Looking.  Car.  Ever.

They are attractive, but so is the new E90 series, can't say which I prefer, both good.

Coupe is good.

Sedan tail end is hideous.

Front is growing on me, but still too pointy at the corners.

Still much prefer E46.

Technically speaking, the E90 is only the sedan.  E91 is the wagon, E92 is the coupe, and E93 is the convertible.  At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works.  And to clarify my original statement, I hate the E90 and E91's looks, and really like the E92 and E93.

He said E90 series.

As far as I'm concenered, this means sedan, coupe, convertible, wagon, M3, 2.5, 3.0 turbo, rwd, x-drive, the works Wink

After seeing a shiny, black Aston Martin DB9 the other day I can't in good conscience agree with your statement Mitlov.

The E46 is the best looking car that I see every day.

Okay, I'll agree with that.  There are some pretty amazing supercars and exotics out there.

Best looking BMW models to me are:

E39 5-series 1997-2004 - All of them.
E46 3-series 1999-2005 - the M3 by far, coupes next, sedan aging very nicely.
E92 3-series Coupe 2006+ - Growing on me every time I see one

I take pleasure in seeing a BMW up here in Sudbury because they are not as common as MBs, Audis. Both have a dealer here. When I go to the GTA they are as common as an Impala up here. E92 is my fav.
