Watch the timing belt on the BMW

On the six cylinder they tend to get an oil leak inside the timing belt compartment, and the insideous thing is it's not visible from the outside. I had it happen on my '91 and the belt broke at 62,000 miles. If I'd gotten the belt replaced at exactly 60K as recommended I would have save myself a lot of grief. The tops on the Saabs are so much better and a lot quieter. I used to like the looks of the BMW's back in the day but lately they look sort of small and boxy. Personally I think the styling on the Saab has stood the test of time better. Also, this is SAABNET, so if you're looking for someone to tell you the BMW is better, you've come to the wrong place.
