The BMW is a nice ride, but in reality it cost like heck to maintain one. As was previously mentioned the timing belt, a tune up, electrical, all is big bucks. The Civic, will actually outlast the BMW with a lot less maintenance, and a lot better fuel economy. My neighbor just sold his 84 Civic, with well over 300,000 commuter miles, with nothing but, oil changes, tune ups, timing belts, and 1 radiator. Not bad for a little beater car. Another Friend of mine has a BMW, I forget the model, but is is a larger 4 door, with a six cylinder, and automatic. He just paid $1400.00 for some electrical work, a wiper problem, and a major service. It.s your call,and your money. Good luck.

honda civic it will sell better and it will take you a long way that you don't want your bmw to go like long distance country or just around town. a bmw is made for a once in a while drive not everday use

i, unfortunately, am saying honda's. yes i am a honda hater, but if its only for 5 years, then u might as well get a sh*tty car so u can dump it in 5 years with less troubles, if u were planning on something more, i'd say bmw, since they are very good cars that last as long as u maintain it well; but if ur only gonna have it for 5 years and treat it like cr*a, might as well go with the civic, i know i means on more detestable civic on the road, but there are so many it doesn't make a difference.

Its better to buy a new Honda Civic cuz new is better.
It will probably be more expensive to maintain a used BMW.

If you care about the flash, get the BMW. If you care about the cash, get the Civic.

the bmw would last but the repairs are quite expensive and I'd check out the cost of insurance before making any decisions.

bmw - replacing the timing belt will run you a little under a grand..
honda - replacing the timing belt will run you around 300 bucks..
bmw equals problems....honda built to last..hope this helps..
