get an old solid pos for your truck... and pickup a honda or toyota for the car... probably still under the price of the BMW

I don't want an old POS truck or a POS Honda/Toyota (same car IMO)

In reality I'll probably do 2 track days a year tops so towing really isn't a priority for me. Just something it needs to do every once in awhile. Kinda like the wife and laundry. BTW. The BMW I'm looking at is not a truck/suv. It's a 4 door sedan.

You may not follow my logic. But my reasons are sound.

Hondas and Toyotas are a dime a dozen. Probably the same rationale as to why I own an Italian motorcycle.

sorry... but you may not like toyota's or honda's... but that doesn't qualify them as POS's...

shit Suzuki get's rag'd on alot in the sport bike world as it's the squid bike of choice... but fucker's are solid bikes.

ok so you like rare(ish) vehicles... I can understand your point of view... but because you choose to pick rarity first... doesn't make everything else a pos.

KIA... that's a pos

I guess it depends on the area. Around here BMW's and Porsche are a dime a dozen.

You might want to check the BMW forums. Seems both cars you are interested in have some electrical gremlins. I would get an extended warranty for either one.

We have an R1200RT, and have been looking at a light tourer for me. No German cars though
