I took an 18 month break from BMW's. I thought I could just pimp an Accord, and leave frequent maintenance behind me .
I am back in one now, but had to psyche myself up for it .
Love the way they drive. Not impressed with reliability . Like Matt said, it's not exactly like they were cheap KIAs to start with . Cooling system , suspension , and engine parts should last 100k an nearly any car. It upsetting to be on your 2nd valve cover, and water pump at 140k. Throw in a few window regulators, an ABS sensor , loosing all interior functions due to self folding mirrors crapping out, a few broken shock mounts, a radiator, cooling bottle, Plus all the other little stuff that fails along the way .
Seems like the newer stuff has gotten somewhat better .
