LOL..ya, and your SO original Darrell. I see you got a new Avatar. Too bad Al had to go.

Welcome aboard, it seems as if one of these guys beats the holy BMW drum and others follow some instinctive urge and attempt to join in the fray.

Most of what they say is so repetitive and simplistic no real thought is required to formulate a response.

Intersting to note that Cadillac has a higher repeat customer rate than BMW.

$2,000.00 for an M3 wheel? That kind of runined your argument right there. I just had my 19" wheel replaced (wife curbed it) and it cost $822.00 with the tire. Not cheap..but not 2k.

Yes I have seen those statistics, however what you gain in resale can quickly evaporate if you have any repairs. My friends M3 was recently in an accident and one wheel will cost $2000 to replace. The front fender had to return to Germany for painting. The insurance deductibles and out of pocket expenses add up quickly.

This makes the question of repeat buyer ship even more interesting. Knowing the value retention is so high is not enough to get the BMW owner to buy another. Obviously something else in ownership experience was not as pleasant.

Chevrolet and Cadillac despite the lower resale have a higher repeat buyer rate.
