spacious, comfortable, stylish, well-appointed

Good power, reasonable on gas, and an absolute joy to drive. Not a car who view automobiles as mere "transportation", but a car for those who truly enjoy driving. That said, either be good with tools or have money for maintenance. BMWs tend to require parts to be serviced or replaced far more often than your standard Toyota.

Most reliable car I have owned

This car is extremely reliable and was always very comfortable. I owned for a couple of years and never had a problem with the car.
