60,000 and radiator hose broke - exactly - German engineering?
German engineering? or buy lotto tickets. I didn't see the temp go up to far so I pray I didn't do any damage ignoring warning for 2 miles.

um how is that the engineers fault?/ are you saying it is engineered to fail at 60k
or could it be the supplier manufactured it to the minimum specs!! where was it made?? i know with replacement light bulbs you get what you pay for

Not sure where you are coming from on that one but my Tundra has 97000 miles on it and the only thing that broke on it are the lights bulbs in the home link door opener transmitter.
I don't mind something failing every now and then but the falilure rate past a certain mileage is just incredible.... Nevertheless, on my 1983 3-series things fell apart at 50,000 miles so no real surprise. But a bit cynical for a "premium" brand to make cars that disintegrate at 90,000.....

My upper radiator hose raptured, not the kind they predicted on mya21st LOL, but steam came out of my hood; good thing I was close to myhouse. Redid the entire coolant system cause I don;t want to take any chances. I think it's not so much the mileage but age (almot 8 years old at that time).
If you don't see the temp went up, I don't see how you'll have problem like crack engine block etc.

Funny to say i just got back from BMW and i have 39k miles on my 06 4.8is. My hose started leaking, so im debating if i should leave it as is and wait until end of the summer to fix it, or to just fix it now and get it over with. total price was 315$ to get it done.
