My Ride: 535i, sport package, premium pacakge, CWP, navigation, xenon adaptive headlights, Sirius satellite radio, iPod USB adaptor.
I bought my first BMW (which is also my very first luxury car) on Monday night, a 535i with premium, sport and CWP. On Tuesday night, i.e the very next day after buying the car(!), all the steering fluid leaked out requiring a tow back to the dealership! It turned out one of the O-Rings on a solenoid in the power steering valve box separated. My service center replaced the entire valve box and I am picking the car up this afternoon. Well, it was a great problem-free car for about 24 hours!

My Ride: 2004 530i sport 6spd Sapphire Black/Tan
When I brought a Mtech kit from a vendor, the vendor disconnect his phone and not replying PM. It's still the worst experience.

Tie:
(1) Buying Replica Wheels
(2) Replacing the K&N Air Filter only to have my car stall on me (bad air sensor).
Both of these problems were of my own doing, but what fun is a car that can't be mod'd.
