I know I shouldn't read too deeply into the forum complaints as you can find that with any purchase, but I can't help it...it's in my psyche.

I'd like to ask honestly how often to you need repairs? Are they major? Do you love/like/hate your purchase now? Is the transmission problems I've read about gone in the 2010? Is servicing out of this world expensive?

What we want is something that'll last us 10yrs and have as little problems as possible. If it's a pipe dream so be it...I've actually had someone in another BMW forum I posted this type of question say just buy a Toyota.

I really appreciate everyones feedback...it's quite useful.
