Saying bye bye to my 525i

Sorry guys...The whole reason why I'm allowed to get a new car is because my bmw looks like its going to be running into a lot of problems. 25k is a lot of money...and the first thing i asked was if I could throw that money into the car but my parents don't want me keeping a car that is going to be costly to maintain when i'm in college. So they want me to get a new car that will run for a long time and be less likely to run into problems. Thats why I'm kinda looking at the g35 because I get japanesse realiblity and insane power....and i'd say ok handling compared to the bmws. If I wanted a bmw i'd get the 330ci...but thats way out of the my price range so thats a no no...plus my parents don't want me buying a used car...for the same reason above...and they don't want me driving a coupe because of insurance prices. But basically any recommendations on a new sedan that run real good...and is pretty quick...and about 30k out the door...give or take like a good 3k

Well after talking to my parents....we decided its time to let my 525i go. Its served us well for 13 years. We are going to trade it in for a new <A TITLE="Click for more information about car" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||cars|AA1VDw">car</A> for me to take to college.

Any recommendations on a car? I was thinking something like a Z or RX8 or a G35 (if i can afford it) .... I'd actually love to get a 3 series but thats way to expensive for me...I just hope one of those cars can handle almost as well as my old 525i...I love that car...just too expensive to maintain...

my 540 and its V8 is EXACTLY why im talking about gas mileage. under normal driving, i go thru about a tank a week, and its about 30-35$ to fill her up. i mostly drive in town (and Lexington traffic is downright awful, Russell can attest to this) and only get 16 MPG. if I had found this board before I went looking for an E34, I would have seriously considered otherwise. Dont get me wrong, I'm in love with her.. shes just got a BIG appetite.

PhilM how can you talk about gas mileage driving a v8 car??

I'm to big for the is300...I went to go test drive it 2 years ago...and I had to put the seat back all the way just to fit in....
