[QUOTE="funfer_fahrer, post: 181159, member: 2733"] Let's put it this way. The beemer is not meant for the masses, the used beemer included. It is a well engineered car but it comes with a price - high maintenance. The beemer is a high precision 'instrument'. The number of sensors in an average beemer is 4 times more than a normal Jap car. When BMW design its cars they never promise that the car will be easier to maintain (It is only technician friendly). When I bought my beemer, I know what I am getting myself into. In this case, I never blamed the engineers in Munich. If you want to drive a beemer you have to think like a BMW technician. Clear the fault messages regularly then the car will behave and think normally (You don't have to do this for Jap car. Some beemer owner also never do this and they ended up cursing and bitching all the way.) This action also involves money. This is also another reason why quite a number of beemer end up in a workshop most of the time. Not because it doesn't perform. As a beemer enthusiast we want to make it run perfectly all the time. It makes me sick if my diagnostic tool register a single fault even though the car is still driveable. This is my 'pantang'. Those who are crazy about the beemer are those who think money is a small issue when it comes to maintenance. When it comes to this, you have no choice. You have to spend. You just cannot afford to wait for your gaji bulan depan. Otherwise, your beemer just like little children will present you with more surprises while you are waiting for your next pay day. This is what owning a modern beemer is all about. And I haven't talked about routine maintenance and wear and tear just yet. [/QUOTE]
