My husband has had his 320i for a little over 3 years.  In this time he
has had to replace the fog lights a few times and get the air conditioning 
system and the brakes fixed.  It is a sturdy car.

A week ago Sunday, we were travelling on I-5 northbound in Oregon when
the car hit a patch of ice on a curve, skidded out of control, crashed
into a hill and flipped onto the driver's side.  The car is now in the
shop, but we both got out in one piece through the sun roof.  The driver's
side was dented a little, but we and our belongings were unscratched.
We also found out (the HARD way -- ouch!) that yes, seat belts DO work.
I was firmly held in my seat by mine even when the car was on its side
with me three feet in the air!  I fear that if the car had been something
like a Honda (with only a 2 1/2-mile bumper and a flimsy body you can
dent with your elbow), I might not be here to write this.

Happy New Year,
