I used to have an e36 m4 and a e39 540i.

Those cars were fantastic when new, but absolute shit boxes after 70-80K miles, then they fall apart as if on purpose.

Plastic cooling system parts. Rear shock tower mounts creaking and cracking. Almost "money shifting" 2nd to 3rd, twice. Steering shimmy that never goes away. Timing chain wear + brokerages. Intake gaskets always needing replacement. Check engine light, always. Budgeting $2K a year just for maintenance.

I'm a tesla guy now.
