Possibly, but I can guarantee they will be driven by a******s.

They took one to the dealer, and it needed a new computerized navigation system: parts, $800 million, labor $1.2 billion.

I'm a former owner of an 82 320i, 89 325i and 98 528i. That was my first reaction when I saw the headline. If the connections corrode on dryland, they'll turn to green goo at sea.

I used to admire German engineering until I read about the problems they had with their tanks in WWII. OTOH, Shermans were reliable machines.

I drove my sister’s 10 year old C class a few months ago. I still admire their engineering. But I own Japanese autos that will last through any trade war.

In an ocean filled with nuclear submarines. this one’s no better than a prius on the Autobahn.

Most interesting. Lots of details here ... all that’s seems to be missing is the launch codes.

Like a BMW? Spending gigantic amounts of money getting fixed at the dock instead of running out in the sea?

So, just wondering. Have any of you folks even ever owned a BMW automobile?

I did. I loved that car. And it beat me up for it.

Delicate little flower, made like a fine wrist watch. A little something happens to it and the failures cascade.

If you own a BMW and plan on keeping it up, you will always have a $300/month payment. For the rest of your life.
