Thanks for all the opinions guys.

I like the idea of a BMW. I'm not afraid of maintenance, as lets face it guys, if your not afraid to read a lil and get your hands dirty, most labour costs are nil. But although I love BMW's for their styling and performance, i wouldn't drive one because, well... it's a bmw. Too much associated baggage.

What i've seen a few of and something I'd really like to look into, is the Audi a6. I've seen a few of the 4.2L V8's (310hp i think) with the factory wide body in that range, (looks like S6) but there are also the 2.7 twin turbo engines. These sound very tempting, but someone told me that they were an interference engine, timed with a belt. Does anyone know anything bout either of these in terms of reliability? My mod plans would be minimal.


Thx again guys!
