I went through 3 CV boots in an '84 Ford Escort in high school.

I had an '82 Buick Skylark that I had to slide over to the passenger seat, roll down the window, and use the outside door handle to open that door to get out because of the various door handles and window cranks that were broken.

I had to replace my alternator on an '84 Buick Somerset Regal.

My '00 Chevy Blazer needed a new fuel pump before 100K.

My '10 Jeep Commander needed a new battery at 44K.

Problems like this are not exclusive to BMW's, either.
