Dammn' that sucks...It maybe evolution on BMW's part but it's devaluation of money on their customers part.

I love mine wouldn?t trade it for the world (well maybe for a 550 or an M5), but at the same time it has been far from reliable, but for some reason it doesn?t really bother me (proably because I have never been stranded)?something goes wrong, it gets fixed and I?m on my way. So far, in the first 8k miles I?ve dealt with:

? Bad paint / replaced car
? Creaking sunroof-clunk while closing / Realigned sunroof
? Bad steering / replaced steering rack
? Bad gas tank / replaced full tank
? Loose dash cluster / fixed
? Loose drivers seat / fixed
? Stuck rear window / replaced regulator
? Clunking Transmission / Upgraded Software
? Creaking door seals / scheduled to be replaced
? Whistling Windshield / trying to get it fixed
? Squeaking while turning / replaced ABS sensors
? Brake warning at 5k/ new rear rotors, pads etc

At least there were twice as many MBZ's on that list as BMW's...
