Some of us have had the plethora of repairs, problems and glitches, and some of us have had very few. I am in the latter group, though the crap could hit the fan tomorrow.

Also in the latter/luckier group, there are dozens of posters here, (some very infrequent or currently absent), that have run hundreds of thousands of miles with remarkably few repairs.

These kind of thread almost always devolve into a few segments:
-my X sucks and it's costing me a fortune to repair monthly
-my X needs a lot of repairs, but I like doing them
-my X is the worst car ever built/owned
-my X has been basically problem free, other than normal maintenance and a few repairs.

The noise level increases by the month as more old, older and seemingly 'cream puff' used Xs find their way into 2nd, 3rd or 4th owners' hands.

Back at the What Should I Do Ranch, per the OP, if it were mine, it would be gonzo, regardless of how many BMWs I had/have, based on that litany of repairs, with potentially more to come. But that's just me...

Some people like used cars, some people like used fixer uppers...I love cars, but am not sanguine about used ones.

Everyone has their own bag, but Fan Bois are few here, in my years of reading and posting, other than raves over how a 2 1/2 suv handles and 'feels'.
