    Have you researched what is wrong with it? There are many complaints, but also many low cost fixes listed on this site.
  • Replacement of all electronics in "money corner" as the dealer puts it. Back left corner due to sunroof drain plugging. $3600.

    All? Just because the dealer says they all need replacing doesn't mean they actually do.
  • Pixelated dash (not repaired)
  • Auto wipers and headlight sensor failure. BMW says replace the windshield for $1300.

    Plenty of new AM windshields for about $300. (and that suggestion sounds suspect to me.)
  • CV joint failure
  • Power steering pump replacement
  • Thermostat replacement.

    diy $100? All cars need service parts.
  • Passenger mirror failure.

    Possible corroded connector? Clean it?
This is supposed to be an upscale vehicle that was almost $50k when new. I have been a huge BMW fan. I also have an 04' 330Cic. This is a ridiculous amount of failures for the mileage and the care this car has received.

Time for a new Audi SQ5.....
But it's true, older expensive cars don't get cheaper to maintain properly.
