If it wasn't for the ridiculous costs of the CBU cleaning (looks like an extended warranty doesn't help), somewhat lazy transmission (8-speed ZF would of helped) and inability to delete EGR/DEF (due to my state's emissions law), this car would of definitely been a keeper.

Sorry to be a downer all the time gents but I see no clear solution other than opening that wallet and feeding the hungry hungry BMW hippo.
