 Bought brand new, June, 2008.  Two months later the motor on the A/C blower failed.  Three months after that the fuel pump failed and left me stranded on a busy highway.  Six months later the transmission failed while on a family vacation.  BMW highway assistance is worthless.  You get put on hold for 5-15 minutes (if they answer at all) then are told they can send a tow truck within 1 1/2 hours.  Overall a disappointing experience for an expensive vehicle.
