Default RE: New 3W 85xi


ORIGINAL: TailTouch

I have a question...please this is NOT a troll so don't flame me...

Why is it that people are so excited and enthralled about a DA-85 announcement and not so about the 3W.

I own a DA-50 and know that their service is legendary and the engine is awesome. But I also own a BMW M3 and realize that german engineering is in a different league.

Thanks.
You said it yourself

European quality standards in general are pretty refined and cost is often secondary. USA is a huge cost concious market. Yes you can compensate by having a good service and backup, but it is better to make a product that does not need to use backup service. I have never had any BMW go to a repair and rectification (I have had a few) - same with 3W
Its not only german, look at all those Czeck, Italiand and Polish motors - vow is an understatement.
