Maybe you've noticed, I'm not a fan of BMW's. They used to be virtually indestructible, but recently most have gone downhill in quality and reliability. I had an X5 that was continuously having problems that no shop could seem to fix, and then an X3 where a week after I got it, the entire airbag system shut off in that little aluminum can. My sister has the X3 now, and it has given her nothing but problems, like 6 inches of water in on the floor of the passenger cabin due to a mysterious in the roof drain system or some nonsense.

Anyway, here's the info on the new 6 and 5 series repair costs. Apparently, due to the unrestrained use of high-tech, practically aerospace components, insurers are calling even minor fender benders in these new vehicles "total losses"!! According to Autoweek.com, even a MILLIMETER of bend in the front end requires complete replacement. No bending allowed! Well, sounds rediculous. Here's the article.
So please, stick to Hummers. They're more manly anyway!
