Are BMWs worth the money?

Question:
The last few cars I've bought are brand new Japanese superminis, costing about £9-10k. I have been happy with them, and they've been totally reliable, but I've toyed with the idea of spending a similar amount of money on a 3-4 year old BMW 320d. Is this a good idea, would such a car be as reliable, and are they as good to drive as some make out? Comments appreciated, thanks.

It will not be quite as reliable as a Japanese car, no.

What you get in exchange is a much more substantial feeling car with thicker metal and paint, better quality plastics and a more solid overall feel to it. It will likely be safer and have a more composed ride than the cars you are used to and rear-wheel drive offers a more refined driving experience as well as better performance handling at the limits. The BMW direct injection diesels are brilliant. Very responsive motors with spadefulls of torque. I think you'll really enjoy it. If you have an eye for quality and detail and spend a lot of time in your car, it's worthy of serious consideration.

which of these 4x4s has a 4.6 litr engine: jeep cherokee XJ - lada niva - mk 11 range rover?

Yes. I have a 2004 BMW and I love it because it drives well, handles well, has a great warranty, I get a carwash everytime I need an oil change. When I bought it there was no hard sell/pressure to buy it. I got the options I wanted and negotiated a good price.

BMW always worth the money that you pay for it,because it's reliable and well made car. For example 3-series compact is not very big and economic if you pick 320td. If you want some useful information and photos - check the site.

Is Jeep made in Japan or USA ?

BMW are very good cars but not as reliable as a Japanese. I know, I have owned both. Why not look at a Lexus. Japanese reliability with all the luxury of the BMW. Even on an old Lexus everything will work and the car will feel a lot younger than it is. The only downside is, a set of tyres and exhaust could set you back £2,000 if bought together. But then spares are not needed often.

how much are the ferrari 599 Gtb?

They are worth the money but don't use the dealers as they are quite often snobs. Use a good independent for servicing as the BMW franchises charge massive rates!
Make sure you get the car checked over thouroughly before purchasing & walk away if you have any worry whatever!

What are the best Mods for a 1994 Mustang?

In my humble opinion No. A couple of friends owned 3-series beemers a few years ago both had problems with them, one to the point of a new engine. I drove both cars...from memory one was a 316 the other a 323 neither felt that special, in fact I used to get a "numb bum" in them after quite a short period of time. The seats were firm to the point of hard. Try a used Audi good cars with not such a "look at me" image, the 2.5 diesel is a great engine
