And parts are insanely overpriced as well. YOu would expect to pay much more for a spare part on a BMW than a Nissan or Chevy, just because of the brand name.

agreed they did cut corners in a lot of things and are late to the party technology wise (bluetooth streaming) until 2011-2012 come BMW.
Reason why i see bmw's broken down on the side of the road specially when it's snows because of the Run flats. Only reason i picked a 335i is because of the engine, car looks good and it's newer and didn't find anything else under that price range appealing. i would pick a gtr in a heartbeat if i could afford it.
