Parts and services are high, but they are good cars. If I were to buy a beemer, the only one i would get would be an M3, actually if I could afford a lot higher dollar one it would be an M5 or the M8. The 5 and 8 will smoke any camero you can get in, off the lot of course. The M3 will hold it's own against them as well. What model is she looking at? Another good looking one is the 330, jet black with black wheels and dark tint.
