Sorry to hear about your problems, just hope you got to enjoy it while you were driving it and didn't have to drive in Bangkok!

BMW's moronic insistance of offering only run flat tires and removing the ability to carry a spare tire may push me to look at other makes. I have seen some sweet deals on 911's and Audi S4's lately...
I have one of the few cars that came with run flats AND a spare tire so it was no problem for me to switch to regular tires.

My Ride: 2005 BMW 545i, Titanium Silver. Bridgestone 760s on Weds Bavaria II 18" wheels, standard sport pack size. Sport, AT. Latest job - NGK Iridium IX plugs installed.
This is my third BMW. The problems I've had with any of them have been minor and all have been fantastic to drive. It won't bother me at all if the OP never buys another, we all have different needs from our vehicles.

If reliability is your number one factor in buying a car, maybe you should try a Lexus, Infiniti or Honda. Best of luck!
I don' think anyone wants to find themselves routinely on the side of the road in a $50K plus automobile... Or, a $15K automobile, for that matter, no matter how wel it drives, accellerates, or corners.
I think reliability is the one thing all drivers expect from their cars.
This lack of reliability is why I'll think long and hard before I buy another GM vehicle. I went 0 for 2 with my first two, but have never been let down by my subsequent Honda's, Nissan's, or Ford's- and now the BMW.
