Up to 100k miles EVERY repair was done by BMW, the next 80k EVERY repair has been done by me using OEM or better parts. The last 2 repairs I did, parts were Meyle waterpump (from Bavauto) and a coilpack (from Classic BMW), both parts were made in China. I've lost ALL faith in the quality of OEM and so-called "German" suppliers, like Meyle.

'merican fixes are the norm from here on!
