I think generally, though, there are just a lot of things going wrong.

When I am constantly topping off coolant, and they tell me there is a leak in the coolant reservoir, I okay the replacement. Maybe it's just a rubber ring, and they replace the whole damn tank, I don't know.

I was told they had to take off front bumper to get at a faulty headlight, which I found suspicious, but which has been corroborated by others, so

Check engine light comes on, I take it in, they tell me there's a problem with fuel injectors. Ok, fix it, I say. $$$$$$
All very indicative of high mileage 335i ownership, based on what’s reported around here.

Didn’t mean to indicate you are a car philistine in any way.

Also, bumper removal for faulty light? That’s new to me in BMW world. Audi world pretty routine.
