I Can't Believe The Lack Of Response

I've seen numerous random issues people have had with their BMWs. How could I not get any responses to this thread? I would just like some heads up info. Come on, throw me a bone. Is everyone of the mindset "Let him experience it for himself?"

Basically. Like you said, it's random issues. Things to look for down the road are OEM parts that BMW uses that are sub-par, or just fail due to the 'sportiness' of design along with normal wear and tear... Things like control arm bushings, shocks, brakes (usually 1-2 sets of pads per set of rotors), and the occasional electrical device, like a window, etc.. But anyone could make a laundry list for any car out there if you really wanted to, BMW or otherwise.

Enjoy it once it gets to you!

exactly. They all tend to be random things. I think the control arms and the window regulators/sunshade clip are probably the biggest areas of concern. There, you can worry about that stuff now although it likely won't appear for thousands of miles.
