QFT! My E39 and E60 were trash cars.

i feel ya...

had an 05 z4...total junk! broke down numerous times right after warranty.
every trip to the dealer resulted in at least a $500+ repair bill.

traded it in for my first toyota...an 05 x-runner. i still have it as my daily.
i have over 230k miles on it. only 2 things ive had to repair were an alternator and starter.
...and all that after 220k.

that is the reason i joined here. i was on the wait list or almost 4 yrs when they announced the "new supra"
or "zupr4" as i like to call it. when i found out bmw was building it on the z4 platform...i said no thanks!

i enjoyed my 04 350z. got excited when nissan announced a new z and...
that it would have a manual...
that it would be turbo...
that it will be priced right...
that it would be "japanese"...
that it would not be bmw...

Are you are on another forum? I just recall someone saying the same thing with their Z4 and trading it in for a 4Runner.

My 04 Z4 with 33k seems to be ok at the moment, fingers crossed.

Yeah I'm also not feeling the Zupra. I'm glad it exist in the age of crossovers and EVs and I'm sure it's a great car for others, but personally it's just not my cup of tea.

trust me i know...

well there is a reason why a lot of people just lease BMW, MB, Audi etc.

BMWs are great while they work.
Trust me. I know it, too. Owned a E39 540iA (V8) for 9 yrs.

Anything plastic under the hood broke before 80K.
Got to ride with the tow trucks three times.

Mines went on ok until the 100k mark. After that it became a money pit so I pawned it off for cheap to a flipper that just patch it up and resold it.

the only thing reliable on a bmw....you can rely on the plastic and rubber to let you down

I never owned a BMW before, but I was told the E12, E28 and E34 were pretty decent cars. Everything just went to shit after the E39.
