[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1451089, member: 19880"] And (unsurprisingly), BMW is at the bottom of this list. Technologically innovative but often unnecessarily complicated and prone to failures in components that other manufacturers have managed to get right a long time ago. (Other European manufacturers don't fare much better.) The lack of a supportive dealer network is a concern to me as well. There is only one authorized BMW shop within an eight hour drive from me and I will only deal with them under duress (they are almost two hours drive). They are a multi-brand dealership with little-to-no regard for customers or service. I am counting on doing all of my own service with mail-order parts support, as needed. Some decent forums out there for diagnostic help and electronic assists (GS911 or Motoscan) for reading/clearing codes, resetting service reminders and changing settings that otherwise would have to be done by a BMW shop.
