I would say BMW cars tends to be more "sensitive to breakdown" in many aspects and certain parts are not lasting. All through my combined family car experience of over 40 years of more than 10 cars, covering Datsun, Volvo, Mercedes, Camrys, and even protons, never do I need to refill petrol with quarter tank left. admittedly not a good habit, i used to refill only close to last minutes to save the trouble. (i was warned of this when i got my first BM) Besides, never did i realise there is a fuel pump in the car over the last 3 decades, I just changed my fuel pump due to disturbing sound for my E39 last week which had been changed just two years ago. ( i just read a thread there was another BMW broke down due to fuel pump last two days) and today, the espansion tank burst ! luckily the temperature reach red zone the moment i parked into my car porch. ( The whole radiator and espansion tank just been replaced last year)I wonder why performance cannot go along with greater reliability!!Nevertheless, i have to admit that my passion for BMW is unperturbed. Just like i used to complain a lot about how badly managed our country is, but i still love my country very much!</blockquote>
