What's worse, the ride is so quiet, every little hiccup can be heard and over-scrutinized in my mind.Maxichamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08565255540275138635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-68309261097501858672012-01-13T11:12:36.297-08:002012-01-13T11:12:36.297-08:00Ripple7: You really have nothing to fear. 62k is n...Ripple7: You really have nothing to fear. 62k is nothing for that car as long as you have a healthy enthusiastic approach to maintenance.

I'm curious if you drive with constant anxiety of if and when something breaks? I drive a 9 year old e39 touring (525) with 62k miles. I'm in a constant state of paranoia of hearing something that "just doesn't sound right" or "is it shifting a little weird today" Really I've got nothing to worry about the 525's are very reliable but I would also like to get another 20 years out of this car.Ripple7https://www.blogger.com/profile/17049051886443479912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-39504923779729705762012-01-10T16:45:10.308-08:002012-01-10T16:45:10.308-08:00My co-worker has a Ford Taurus X with the CVT.

The dealership covered an entire replacement of the CVT under warranty. However, he has had to take the car back 4 times for problems that the technicians did while replacing the CVT. Suffice it to say, the dealership has provided a long term rental while the solve this mess.MattCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-87931445949017428162012-01-10T07:24:29.787-08:002012-01-10T07:24:29.787-08:00Good luck, man - I hope you don't need it.Good luck, man - I hope you don't need it.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130575175687846742noreply@blogger.com
