Durability, Durbability, and oh yeah Durability.

Living in NH and being from ME. where the roads suck and winters are tough, it never ceases to amaze me how many 240s I see on the road that are 20 years old with little or no rust and 300,000 miles on them. I thought this was just a trait of the rugged old 240s, but I am seeing plenty of 850s that are now almost 10 years old with 250,000 miles on them and one where I get my car serviced has over 300,000 on it.

I can't think of another brand of car that is this comfortable (best seats in the world!!!) This safe and durable and doesn't cost you a bank fortune to fix like a Mercedes.
