I think the pattern here is that the ones complaining are the ones:
1. Who can’t afford to keep up their BMWs
2. Doesn’t do regular maintenance so eventually components goes south.
3. Doesn’t do DIY
4. Like what was discussed, putting 87octane gas
5. Rough driving habits
6. Owners going to indy shops expecting that maintenance are done, but in reality, some were not even performed like the incident below:

This happened to me personally which made do DIY for nearly 20 years now. My 2001, 2004, 2006 and 2007 BMWs were all spoiled maintenance wise but of course, small issues are there but never had major issues at all.
