Breakdowns of electronic and mechanical parts can be expected in all cars...our W211 recently had a minor ECU problem at 2 years. It's just that things like high fuel and oil consumption are design and quality issues of the last century, and are practically unheard of these days in even the most basic national cars. I just question why it's still a bugbear in BMWs such that us enthusiasts shrug and accept the "pain" with the pleasure! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite5" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":confused:" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
