No it’s way more than electrical. BMWs have been notorious for needing a full suspension and cooling system overhaul before 100k. A few other samples are N54 HPFPs that grenade and take out the entire fuel system, tearing rear subframes on multiple models, rod bearings on multiple models, VANOS solenoid failures on multiple models, the list goes on. That’s not to mention a litany of premature squeaks and rattles, cheap brittle plastics, rapid leather wear, dropping headliners, vinyl peeling off of panels, and other issues that are purely poor quality. I would love to have another, but every time I start down that road and do a little more research I stay away.
