I live in SF proper, and diesel in the city is 5-10 cents less than premium where I go. Have you looked around on gas buddy, as some stations gouge?

I have gotten 26-27 mpg on my trips to Tahoe. ...

Fredo - I have had three Bimmers that I own 5-6 years, and none of them had serious issues but they definitely did need repairs. Maybe, that doesn't qualify as "crap breaking", but the cars ended up...

I think Ard is being sarcastic. It is a BMW, so post warranty "all kinds of crap" is going to break no matter what engine you have unfortunately. The resale on a D is significantly higher than gas...

Agreed with AU on all counts. The E70 gives off a lot of dust. The good news is that don't squeak like my old E46 brakes...which were also dusty.

Mileage can go as high as 27-28 on the open...

I agree with Uncle J. Most rules of thumbs also say at least 10K a year to get a diesel. OP might be better going with gas.

I have owned three new BMWs that I typically keep for 5-6 years. My only first year model was definitely the most problem prone FWIW.

Yes. I initially didn't use it on my X5, but now I like it in certain parking situations as noted above. It does take some getting used to though.

I am late to this thread but our son has a Britax Marathon. It is a bit on the expensive but it is an awesome seat. We also previously had a Maxi-Cosi, but he outgrew that before turning 1. The...

Nice review.

I got almost 30 mpg driving down from Tahoe with some traffic, so I agree that elevation matters a lot. It was in the low 20's going up the hill.

I have also noticed my mileage...

Lots of debate and good threads on lease vs buy. I personally keep my cars for 5-7 years, and I think leasing is a waste of money with a few exceptions (business use for example).

Spark's and Keen's in NYC are both excellent. Ruth Chris is very good...especially for a chain, but it is no comparison to a real NY Steakhouse IMO.
