That was our last BMW of new vintage.
That sunroof cassette is something like 2500 for parts, then a whole day to in and out it .
Then, the v8 x 5's like to leak oil from the alternator mount . 15$ seal, 800 to in and out it, takes a whole day . window regulators, door locks, water pumps, axle shafts, rear lower control arm ball joints, front suspension overhaul at 100k. Door handles break, valve cover gasket leaks, coil pack, steering angle sensor failures, yaw angle sensor angle failures, fuel pumps, I drive problems . Ihave done it all.
Some of them , are just wretched pos's
