just the first one had issues, but BMW did right in buying it back - i have NO gripe with BMW, i wish the 5 were here with a diesel .. i'd have bought that .. providing it would've been cheap enough.
this was a complicated deal as i was about $12K upside down on the touareg for the trade ....

It's a step back my friend, if u ask me, but anyway it's your choice and i respect that since everyone does what they want.

i guess next time i come to you asking to make up $12,000 if i'm upside down ... sound good to you? because it sure sounds good to me.
and next time .. please be a little more respectful?! not too much to ask now, is it?
I wanted a diesel, I had the choice between a HEAVY DUTY PICKUP TRUCK (Ford F-350), a SUV (JEEP LIBERTY), or a car .... VW Jetta TDI, VW GOLF TDI, VW BEETLE TDI, MB E320 CDI .... now you pick out of those my friend.
