Mine was an '83 BMW 320i

I got forced into buying this car because I was dating my wife at the time and I was told her parents wouldn't think highly of me with the car I had. So I used money I had set aside that I was going to buy a Counterpoint amp with to get it, and it was just as you say.

They are the biggest pieces of crap in the world. You know that's why Germany lost WWII. The Panther may have been the best tank in the world when it ran.

But it was never running...

And the crews couldn't fix it...

On my SOB the oil pump kept deciding not to work, and the cam shaft would go all to hell. I couldnt' get anyone to work on it locally except the dealer and since it was due for inspection too I had them do that. The guy wasn't going to pass it because he said the one door was "hard to close". That was the closest I ever came to having my head explode in public. It was literally one thing after another with it the entire time I owned it.

My next car was a brand new 1995 Plymouth Neon. We put 186,000 miles on it in 10 years and it never broke once, ever. I didn't even have to replace a water pump, nothing.

No more German cars for me!


It's all about the music...
