    Oh hi and welcome! I grew up in Germany ... first car was a Bimmer, 7 series. Worked for and drove VWs for all times until my 4Runner and now I'm never going back. Congratulations!

    It won't be easy to remove that 500+ ft-lbs of torque from my life but the cost of ownership was getting to be a bit much!!

    It really comes down to how well the previous owners kept up with maintenance.

    Mine has only 68k miles and it's an 2004, with that being said in the 10k miles I've owned it its cost north of $3k to maintain.

    Congrats on your new Tacoma and welcome! I never would have guessed your BMW was an 06, looks much newer.

    What hurt worse is the original owner losing 85k in 12 years of ownership.
    Thanks. I just found the 805 thread under the regional section yesterday, seems like quite a big group
