“Well at the 60k mile mark the motor was blown, come too find out many cars this same model and year are having similar issues... The suspension has been changed a couple times now and the fuel pump went bad... The car burns oil Bmw says this is normal I find that very hard to believe... The motor went out while driving and actually leaving the Bmw dealership how ironic”
