The best and worst things in BMW's world!

After you drive a car for a few months, it can be used or new, you know that one day a message is going to appear on your computer screen saying "change the lamp or check the tire pressure or worst the battery can be gone, or the electronic system half is not working, anything may happen, you have to be prepared because you cannot prevent all the things.


I am very proud of all the purchases I've made as I didn't have any major problems with the vehicles I drove. The regular maintenance is very important so when I buy a car, I will ask about all the records the owner has, but as I said above, you never can prevent some things from happening so this is what went wrong with the following series:

BMW 745li- Engine Vibration- I experienced that because I used regular gas instead of premium, so the filter got stock. The new models of 7 series have a sensitive fuel system requiring a concrete level of pressure and components so it is very easy to disturb it if the norms are not respected.

BMW-525i- Transmission Issue- I felt a turbulence while transitioning from 2nd to 3rd speed.

BMW 530i and very commun to 3 series as well- Break Pads SQUEALING- I've had that issue with one of BMW's and this is the white one you saw on my first posts. It started to squeal loudly right away and after I replaced them, I had a headache hearing them again, I thought it was a rottor problem but I still didn't figure it out. Plus the 2 front wheel drive is very unsafe to drive in the rain or especially snow, it is very playful when it comes to the cold season.








Besides that, the BMW is the best for its design, performance and capacity. It is fun to drive and yes it is a "head turner" :))

Starting 2013 with an excellent SUV: ML350

Mercedes ML350 - How does it feel?


Why did I decide to get this SUV? Because there's nothing better on the market out there :)
It took me a long time searching for a SUV. I test drove a few of them, for example Lexus RX330/350, BMW X5 and Audi Q7 and the Mercedes seamed to be the best option compare to other Makers at this moment.
Mercedes offers a significantly higher level of comfort that other SUV's don't.


This is a 2006 Mercedes, that has a 3.5L engine. Four wheel drive, holds a clean title, no accidents and is in a great cosmetic and technical shape, no scratches or dents.


The interior is very clean and comfy 


The safety of the SUV and big side view mirrors are my attraction. It feels good when I drive it.   


What do I think about it's quality, I am still exploring it! No problems so far :)
I love and enjoy it as long as I have it.
I miss the speedy BMW's but in cold winter weather is always nice to have a SUV friend that would keep you safe on the road.






Being One is Super Fun!

 Yes, we tried the cake!!!! :)
