You all are scaring me. I had a 2010 Volkswagen CC that I sold with 109k miles, all from my driving. I drove it for 3 years to the day. Traded in for my 335xi.
The VW had only ONE mechanical problem that whole time... Intake manifold damper actuator broke. I replaced the manifold myself at a cost of $200 plus a friend helping who I paid $250. THEN even
after the warranty expired, VW sent out a letter to reimburse anyone who incurred repair costs for this... Amazing customer service.
Now, enter my BMW 335xi - I bought with 53k miles on 8/9/2013. As of 9/17/2013, it has 58k miles. I am amazed at how LOW your mileages are after long periods, yet so many repairs. If this holds true, there is NO WONDER why this car was so cheap for me to buy and why the owner sold it with only 53k miles. In my book, that's just broke in!
I'm beginning to think I made a HUGE mistake. And then I drive my 335xi. Everything seems to run great. I guess I'll be driving with my fingers crossed from now on. And I just ordered a PROcede... watch me have CRAP luck now!
