Welcome Princess. We all come here through different and varied paths. Many of us have trodden the path of German performance/luxury sedans, and there is some grief along the way. For example I miss Jacob, my trustworthy (up to a point) BMW service advisor. We became quite close over the years, and I do miss my morning coffee and biscotti. (Which I can purchase at Costco for slightly less cost.) But stay with us, and you will be rewarded with a sedate, refined, and luxurious ride; a friendly and knowledgeable online community (GAA - German Automobiles Anonymous), and extra hours added to your life when you will not be bringing your car back for repairs because another gasket/sensor/bracket exceeded its lifespan.
Be seeing you.
