Old BMW > old Audi. They are really easy to DIY. I don't really like working on my DD (2004 E46) in case I have issues so I do it on Friday nights in case I need to make a Sat morning parts run. I have completed two very easy projects on a Friday night with little struggle or effort: 1. Water Pump/Thermostat replacement and Valve cover gasket. I did the window regulator and shocks/struts/springs on a Saturday afternoon. Easy as well. I think the 6cyl bimmer is many times easier than the 911 to work on and that's saying something!!

I think the VW/Audis are cool, but the idea of taking 1/2 the car apart to do a waterpump? No thanks.


I'd stay away from S class and all that...more electronics (electronic suspension for example) = more breaky. Think 928, nice new, but $$$$ to fix later, that's why they are so cheap.
