 Had owned 2 previous BMWs. After the warranty expired, within a couple of years it cost me $12,000 in repairs. Had to replace transmission, control arm, and power steering.  This all from someone who drives once a week with a max. of 5000 kms a year.  Wished I would have read all the driver reviews before buying it almost brand new from a distant cousin.  Low mileage, looks brand new inside and out but do not trust driving it on the highway.  Give your money to a panhandler instead. Sits handsomely in the garage. Looking for a new car.
