Yup.....bmws are great cars no doubt but I have found they have there niggles....most of your problems are still minor compared to what could go wrong on that car.
But you are right these cars are still $50k cars and the cost of repairing reflects that.
You should have got a 328 imho.....but each car is a crap shoot and problems happen with any marque.
My advice is if you love this car learn to DIY to save some money for future repairs or abandon the brand for the Honda/Toyotas of the world if reliability is paramount.....but this will be the best car of all you mentioned and it will eat away at your soul every time you sit behind the wheel of some sh!t Econobox....decisions decisions....goodluck whatever you do.
Sh!t....Op already moved on to newer bmw.....I think he will have a problem anytime the car breaks....I also wish for a indestructible car too....someone please inform me when one becomes available
