Being a bit lazy here.
For some time, I've been thinking about thinning the current herd of wheeled critters hanging around my property. I've been considering buying another BMW, but I don't have a lot of experience with the newer ones. (I've only owned three 2002s, all of which were sold long ago...) This latest BMW would be a daily driver, but probably wouldn't see any snow/salt. A 3-series would be OK, but I think a "5" might be better. I'd probably buy a sedan, but a wagon might be nice. The year isn't that important, and yes, I'm well aware of the upkeep costs on older German cars.
So, what I'd like to do is sign up on a "good" BMW forum. I'm more interested in facts than wanna-bees dreaming of wild mods. So, are any of you regulars on a BMW forum that's actually useful?
And, if you have any suggestions for a model I might like, here's what I'm looking for:
As always, all opinions are appreciated!

And, if you have any suggestions for a model I might like, here's what I'm looking for:
- I'll be willing to travel and pay for a well-kept, lower mileage example.
- Less electronics is better. I don't like most nanny-equipment.
- I don't want or need bluetooth, navigation, back-up cameras, etc.
- Buzzers and beepers must be easily disconnected.
- It really should be an automatic, but I might consider the 'right' manual.
- Fuel mileage should be 'reasonable' - remember, I'm looking for a daily driver, not a toy (I already have too many of those!)
