BMW, our Ultimate break-down machine
 So, we bought this (2006 325i/E90) car last year for 16K. In the following year its needed (all prices include installation)1. $600 Oil Pan Gasket 2. $1500 Passenger seat weight sensor3. $1200 Radio Dash LCD display 4. $1300 Electric Water Pump5. $150 Electric thermostat6. $500 shaped coolant hoses7. $350 Oil Filter Adapter Gasket8. $500replacement alloy rim 9. $200spark plugs10$700 VANOS solenoids Once you get past the questionable maintenance costs and the uncomfortable side bolsters the car has a lot of good points. It's good fun to drive with excellent handling and decent throttle...it just shouldn't cost this much to maintain a 5 year old car.
