The E90 is no Civic or Corolla-like, you don't see one every corner. It's still an exclusive compact sedan, call it nonexclusive when it's already a Vios-like european car. Truth is, I see more E46s than E90s.

True, the 5-series BMW is a notch higher than the 3-series. But then, it's a notch higher too when it comes to maintenance fees.

I've already been in a 320D E90, and trust me, there's still that wow factor whenever I pull over wherever. BMW, e'. Silver pa yun ha, what more when the color is absolutely stunning such as as black, grey etc.

IMAGE. IMAGE is all we need. All we're after. All we're protecting. That's why we buy cars even if our old ones still run perfectly. That's why some people favor buying nice cars first before buying nice houses. Kasi, parati ka makikita sa kotse mo. Eh bahay mo sino makakakita? Pwedeng iilang piling tao, pwedeng wala totally. But cars? Nakikita parati.
Hahaha~ Hindi ko nga talaga ganon ka type ang design ng E90. But if you have been reading my previous posts you see that I do know the strong points of this car and why it would be worth buying for some people. I just said it doesn't seem to fit the TS's needs and preferences and I just suggest what, in my opinion, would fit the TS's needs and wants more.

I meant that the E90 is like a Civic and Corolla to the Europeans. For them, its just an ordinary daily commuter car compact sedan, the same as a Civic or Corolla. I don't know about others but I see E90's on a regular basis and I don't find it to scream exclusivity anymore. Personally I find the A4 and C-Class to command more respect than this one.

The TS has already suggested a BMW. Which, I assume, would mean that he is ready for the maintenance expenses of the car. So I believe the maintenance costs of an E39 5 series wouldn't be a problem?
