I don't have a problem with it, aside from the hood that doesn't close all the way.

Something different.

"Crazy" is not a bad word at least here. If I said F..... that would be another thing. Well, my apologies if I hurt ones.

GO HONDA! Finally, a BMW with Honda reliability! Impressive. Now that's one BMW that can go 300,000 miles with zero defects.

We swear on BMW engines but if you guys only knew the reliability issues BMW are having currently with their petrol engines in europe then you would be glad if you had a honda engine in your car At the moment, BMW engines dont have such a good reputation...

I believe on the current BMW quality situation.

Only BMW's with warranties for me.
