I love my 08 E61 but not sure I want to keep it after the extended coverage expires next year. It now has 70,000 miles on it and drives like new. However I had 3 years of issues:

1) Fuel injection (many trips to the dealer)
2) Vanos
3) Carbon build-up on intake values.

I hear that the water pump can fail without warning. I think it is a design issue yet BMW does not want to address it unless it fails and leaves you stranded.

Hope everyone at the outpost are doing well.
