I can tell you that we repo more high mileage BMW's than ANY other type of vehicle. They are great cars to drive but a nightmare if something goes wrong. The problem has gotten so bad that we are not lending on any high mileage BMW's anymore. I think that the cars are so precision that when something goes wrong, either thru time or incident, that they are a freaking nightmare to your wallet and sanity. Greatest car ever made?!?! Not even close.

I did own a 540 & it was a really nice car. It did cost $1200 in 2001 to get the dang thing to stop screaming at me in German though........
