 I knew what we were getting into with the car when purchased back in 2012, with 58k miles on it. But I was assured that BMWs last forever.  Wasn't a full month and the car was in the shop. Spent hundreds on the vanos, which I later learned is German for "don't let your local non certified BMW mechanic work on your cat or you will spend hundreds of dollars repairs the vanos".   Gas guzzling vehicle, but just never captured any value from the car. Just a big let down from day one.  Oh and a bright orange light in the car was annoying as was the fact I could never pair the Bluetooth despite 3 "know how to do it" guys trying.
