I work on euros of all sizes and brands and I assure you, the unreliability and massive repair bills are no myth! There is a reason I drive home in a Holden and not a BMW like the MD wishes I would.

You have a habit of derailing threads and turning threads into a 'all about me and my opinions only' thread. But then again considering you left this mb for a while because people had different opinions to you and you made a big deal over it like a pompous poof, and to just get attention for it like the attention seeker you are, im actually not suprised. You really need to pull your head out of your arse and smell the roses for once.

No it's not sadly. Buy Japanese and save lots of money and grief.

So I don't either damage my car, or find a rotting eyeball stuck underneath my car.

Because the State Highway out front is trawled by the Police, and behind us it's nothing but gravel roads.

praieie ,nissan. got an sr20 in it which is pretty much bullet proof- reliable as and stacks of room

They have up to $25,000 for their purchase price.
So I doubt an old Nissan Prairie will cut the mustard.

Maxima ST- These are big cars, a stonking engine and great suspension.

What do you mean by "great suspension". Most Maximas I have owned or driven have had less than ideal suspension. Wallowy, floaty, harsh riding.

Apart from that, Maximas are great cars - just not "drivers" cars.

I've heard the same thing about Maximas, floaty. Guess the Ford and Holden still lead the pack but I'll look into what Japanese large cars are in the same category. What would be the next size up from the Honda Accord Euro and Mazda 6 in Japanese cars, that's not a Maxima! ;-)

fg falcon and maybe ve commodore are youre best option they are big, ride nice, handle, safe,cheap to fix most of the time and if driven well are more economical than most medium cars

Sorry that was a mistake on my part- I was meaning the Spec R version of the Maxima which has a NZ specific sports suspension tune. This was praised by our motoring press when it came out and took away all of the floaty-ness that the standard spec cars have. I seem to remember a compo in 'Motor' magazine comparing it to the SV6 and XR6s and it trumped them in most tests.
Personally though with the kind of cash the OP has I would be going BMW.
