Reliability - 335
A clients car broke down the other week. It's at the dealer getting sorted out so no clues as to what it was, yet.
Having seen info on this forum about stuff that breaks in these cars I thought we go ahead and make a "highly scientific" poll about this subject. I guess it's up to each and everyone how you would like to classify stuff breaking, but it would be nice not to include wear&tear, like turbo-changes when you've gone stage 3 during 60000 miles. More stuff like that shouldn't have broken, like HPFP's. |

43k and the only thing ever wrong with one HPFP replaced. Take care of the car and it'll take care of you. I've purchased extended warranty through BMW and have nothing to worry about with the car. If it breaks, it gets fixed for $50.

Dunno about the $50. But I know that is the smartest move to make after 50K.

34.5k miles, so far my car's been in for fixes are the fuel system, 1 time HPFP (service history showed previous owner had 1 HPFP recalled @ 18k miles so total of 2 new HPFPs so far), 1 time software reprogram due to SIB (limp mode, misfiring codes), 1 time towed in due to ALL failed injectors (which is 1000 miles after HPFP).... other than the fuel system related, nothing goes wrong yet.... knock on wood..

Re-read, thanks. $50. Have to decide if Extended Maintenance is worth another $2k-3k. Definitely wouldnt want to own the car without warranty. Parts are overpriced, not to mention labor.

Yep, poor is poorly written....can't find anywhere to edit the poll. Maybe you can't since there's no sense having a poll if you go changing stuff at a later date.

Just adding the Extended Warranty (not Maintenance) to the list of reason why getting into this car was a regrettable decision, and dislike the snarky-ness of the board when I'm really just trying to share information, not start fights. If I misread your comments, my apologies. |
