I plan to spend closer to $20k and bank the rest for parts. I generally fix my own car so self insuring is possible for me. |
I was first looking at 2008-2010 and really determined that although they were cheaper, the CCC iDrive is just slow and clunky and I preferred the LCI update of the lights and bumpers. This is what made me raise the budget and go for 2011+
