Well, after 15 years of wrenching on BMW's, I'm ready for the new level of reliable: 2 year old car that has no forum which talks about what's the latest thing broke.
It's pretty bad feeling when you're on your way back from Florida and about 300 miles from home when car decides to die in the middle of interstate with pretty much no warning (throttle body, resolved).
I'm definitely keeping E39's which will give me plenty to wrench.
