I'm not sure if it is exactly the same, but the rear suspension in my 750iL almost 'separated' from the car because the rear subframe bushings (big rubber hockey pucks) disintegrated allowing the entire rear subframe to 'rock' (deflected 3-4 inches!!) under hard braking. That was only ONE of the $$$ failures at around 60K miles.

I've owned several BMW's from 2002 to 3.0CSi to 330iC to 535is to 750 and I can say I WOULD NOT own another.

My 1988 535is may have been the exception. That was a great car except for the $3800 transmission failure at 120K miles.

Just MY $.02
