I had few BMW cars in past, nice cars to drive but had a lot expensive problems. I had e46 and e90 chassis.
Last 2006 e90 had evaporator blowing white dust in cabin issue. Was manufacture issue and BMW did not want recognise problem. I been quoted £2500 for repairs as it did involve dashboard removal. In the end after hours of research online and proving that Denso manufactured part is main reason, BMW agreed to cover labour cost £2250 and I had to pay £250 for part. 5 days they had my car in workshop, no curtesy car or apologies for inconvenience.

And to balance this, we have had several BMWs over the years, the current one is our "lifeboat" bought about 10 years ago its a 1998 3 series compact (hatchback) with a gorgeous 1.9L 16V engine which is a gem.
The car has been serviced regulary by our local (and very good) BMW specialist, it has only ever had service items repalced and one cam sensor and two weeks ago a front ABS sensor (£90 fited), thats it, nothing else. It has AC (unusually for this age), ABS, EW and BMW alarm system.
Its been an absolute gem for 130K miles.......oh yes, and the bodywork shows absolutely NO sign of rust at all! Are you reading this MB?
But some are crap!
