Great to drive but poor reliability
 This was my first and probably last BMW due to very poor reliability.It has consumed at least a quart of oil between changes since I got got the car- mechanics cannot figure out why (compression is good). AM radio reception is very poor. Side view mirrors started to corrode and turn brown after just a few years. The diver side window got un-hinged after 6 years. AC stopped working after 7 years.Rear light ground line is undersized and burns out (now a recall). Key re-chargeable battery dies and key has to be replaced for $500.Windshield wiper fluid container leaked and had to be replaced after 8 years. Plus many other more expected wear/tear and maintenance problems.
