My charted accountant told me that, central government has extended the date of 50% depreciation on cars till Sept' 09 end.


As I own Merc, Audi etc., I thought to buy 5 series BMW to take the advantage of depreciation. I requested for a demo car.


The car features, comfort, safety etc. are same like Merc & Audi except flat tyre technology.


The vehicle ofcourse a wonderful metal piece.


But to my surprised the vehicle noise was high & there were minor vibration to body, but steering wheel was vibrating like typical heavy duty diesel vehicle (The said vibrations are totally absent in 7 series). I discussed the matter with vehicle representative; he told me it’s normal.


I don't know the vibrations were due a used demo vehicle or inherent.


It was shocking experience from 5 series BMW 2009 model.


.... Finally, I did not buy the vehicle.

    Dear G...,
    First of all.. Have you taken a test ride of BMW 5 series?

    If not please take a test and then comment.

    If Yes, then you are an impulsive buyer OR a serous BMW fan.

    Cheers !!!

    p.s.
    1. You don't know the price of 5 series BMW, it is less than 50.0 L and not 1 Cr.(please refer it on the same website) & also 35% difference is not just 2 lacs, it is about 15 to 17 lacs.
    2. Secondly, start reading financial/economic updates.

    Dear Anonymous,

    First of all, if you want to comment on some issue, you need guts to disclose youeself.

    Anyhow, I feel pity for your information about current (upto Sept' 09) finacial affairs & laws. Please note, half knowledge is dangerous. After understanding the truth you will realise that.. who is the idoit.

    Also, it sounds from your statement that you are just like a causal vistor & not a serious person.

    My all best wishes to you!!!
