I called BMW NA and complained, they said since I wasn't the original owner they couldn't do much for me, even though I bought it from a BMW dealer. They gave me a counter offer of $2000 off my next BMW. I complained that the dealer I preferred was over 45 minutes away, and the waste of time, taking off work, and the gas costs has made my first BMW ownership experience afoul. Needless to say, I took them up on their offer and got into a 2011 335xi and owned it for 1.5 years and only had to goto the shop 3 times for normal scheduled stuff.
Yeah out of 1.5 years of ownership, my 2011 335xi has spent a collective 3.5 months at the dealership.
