[QUOTE="SinghisKing, post: 634682, member: 28373"] I started this thread as I was keen on a BMW 520i but was concerned with reliability and maintenance issues because I want a fuss free experience for the next 4-5 years. Since then I have tested the Lexus GS 250 and the Infiniti M25 both of which are offering some decent deals. They are both nice in their own way but I'm still drawn to the 520i and I think BMW gives you more for the money. The 3 things that I don't like so much about the BMW are 2 year warranty only, RFTs replacement cost, and the fact that they seem to be various small problems that need servicing (reading the F30 forum is disheartening). Nevertheless I'm deciding to go for my first BMW as I like the design, comfort and power combination + it feels quite special to drive. Hopefully as the F10 has been out for a while the manufacturing QC is now mature. I'm not in a hurry so am looking for the best deal as the year is coming to an end. Best offer now is 5% off but they will pre-reg my car. Any advice on can I get a better deal? Can I nego for a longer warranty period? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
