Very impressive factory, over 500 robots. The components made in Germany are definitely more reliable, ie motor and transmission. Even so they do fail more often than competition. Just like those stupid graffite brake pads that dust up. You might get 10% more performance in repeated panic stops. Otherwise you clean wheels your whole life. I went for metallic pads early on and never washed brake dust off again, NON BMW pads by the way.

I would get rid of your car and save yourself countless hours and $$$. I wish I had of done so.........I kinda got sucked in to just one more fix and it will be good........Once I get a little money together I'm parting this mother out. Got to be worth $25K! Just think about all the body parts! Can you imagine the bill from a head on at say 25mph?? forget about it!!
