winning a SEMA award, whatever it is, doesnt mean its fail safe.

toyota has been making cars, very good reliable cars for years and what is happening to them now.

btw, an open circuit fault had caused a boeing plane to crash some years back.

Better ask your BMW service advisor, they have more useful information about your car.
BMWHK might not be importing the most updated spec to HK, you can see the BMW UK website, 320i is offering 170hp but BMWHK is offering 156hp engine.

no Toyota has been liar to the world that they make very good reliable cars over the years. :thumbsdown:
almost the hole range of cars has some kind of defects and need to be recalled.
even the top brand Lexus owned by Toyota has a big recall.

you do know that BMW have intel chipset in them and all circuit can fault too.
No 1 know what will happen to the circuit.
when the board get older and older they will 1 day stop working.
this is why I tend to change cars every 4 to 5 year.
just like computer then will brake down some day.
ask keith he know it will.
well in the end if a circuit dose fail on some kind of transport and I die well that touth $hit and my bad luck.
hay you think too much we can never be safe in this world
just enjoy and chill out what we have and time until we die.
