"ha" is right! I've been thinking I was on the downward side of the cost curve since I spent $3400 on it back in November.

With the heater control valve repair, I'll be up to $6600 in repairs and maintenance since 11/17 at an indy. Can't imagine what BMW would have charged. Would have made for a nice down payment on something with a warranty. If I would have had a crystal ball, I would have dumped it when the first major repair hit. I did that with my MINI and it was definitely the right call.

Totally amazing that this thing is completely falling apart with less than 80k miles. Even my 1987 Plymouth Sundance made it to 115k before it blew a head gasket. What a disaster, BMW.
