I had my previous E61 the same day as official dealer release, nice to be almost alone with a new model. Now I see 20 a day...

I need to shave one bimmer off as I'm traveling a lot now and keeping two cars does not make any sense. One has to go. Wife and I would like to keep the 5er but I'm worried about how it will hold up over the long run. This thing has electronics up the wazoo and hasn't been exactly trouble free. My car, knock on wood, has had no problems yet so that's one thing going for it.
I just wanted to hear your thoughts on the subject. Thanks

This is my first BMW and I plan to keep it for as long as it lasts (or until I feel the urge for a newer model, or can justify buying a new one
)

Maybe its time to set up a group-buy for extended warranty for those of us that are coming up on year 4.

Same here, I'm trying to take really good care of my 2005 545i and hopefully iron out all major bugs before the 6yrs/100K miles warranty expired

Not a bad idea
Indeed! That's a FABULOUS idea. Now to just get a dealer that will sell a BMW backed warranty on a group buy...

How would one go about setting up such a group buy?
