-Rolf,
I am going to disagree with you on the 1st year production cars.
My wife's 2002 MINI Cooper S is one of the earliest productions in the US and not once we had a major problems with it.... After all these years it is still in our garage and she has no intentions of selling it.
My E92 335 was also a Sep 2006 production and I also had no issues with it including no HPFP failures & etc..... The car was solid and I truly enjoyed it.
Both the MINI and the E92 had recalls but they were all handled by BMW while the cars were in for service
I really think your wheel cracking and how BMWUSA and BMW Canada handled isn't something common that happens too often.
I will be ordering one of the 1st M4's when they become available.
