My Ride: 2007 550i, Mystic Blue over Auburn, 6-Manual, Sports, Premium, Cold Weather, Logic 7, Nav, Sirius, MTec Front & Sides with M5 rear apron, VIS Penta carbon fiber vented hood, OEM M166s, (or Style 101M with winter 19 Blizzaks), BMW Blue Calipers, Custom Quad Exhaust and M5 side grills, trunk finisher and spoiler. Rogue Octane SSK/WSR and Zeckhausen CDV, BMW illuminated shift knob, Delivered 4/26/06 - Ordered 3/18/06 from Otto's (the Best) BMW Dealership.
Absolutely I'll buy again IF they continue to make 50:50 weight distribution and manual transmissions. These cars are at least as good a build quality as any other and my dealer is fantastic- so if you're in the 4 year warranty you've got nothing to worry about and they should sort out the car before expiration. I continue to sample other makes including the other Germans and nothing runs like these cars.
I can even forgive the no dipstick change (but really miss a true LSD).
Hang in there- IMHO.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I'm on my third BMW and have never experienced oil leaks. I get rid of them after 8 years, usually around 130K miles. I will buy again only if I can find a model without RFTs.

About the same for me. I'm on my third BMW as well and never any real problem with oil leaks. I did have to replace the valve cover gasket on my '98 M3 at about 140,000 miles though if that counts.
I will definitely buy another BMW if my budget allows it. I'll be on SS, retired, when it's time to get a new car.

My Ride: 2007 530i Olivine Green w/ Beige leather interior, 6 spd manual, premium package, comfort access, cold weather package, heated rear seats.
2005 Acura MDX Touring Sage Brush Pearl w/ NAV, running boards, roof rack
1993 325is Calypso Red w/ Parchment leather interior, 5 spd manual. (Sold Nov 06)
I'm on my second BMW. Drove a 325is for 14 years and never had anything leak. I had to replace the muffler and water pump, but those expenses came at the 13 year point...When the time comes to replace my E60, I'm heading to BMW to buy another 5 series.
