Please don't tell me you actually enjoy fixing all the problems here and there just because you drive a "high perf car". If a "high perf car" translates to shit that requires fixing every 2 weeks, then no thank you, I'd take a good old Civic instead. |

It's not just me. The city that I live in is full of European cars and almost all of my friends ride in some sort of Audi / Merc / Bimmer. And all of them visits dealerships for tech issues ALL THE TIME. Call me biased, do I look like I give a flying fuck? No offense, I'm upset strictly at the situation, not at your comments. Just wait till your M3 start having issues left and right, let's revisit this thread then. |

That's what I feel like doing right now. And I hate the generalize, but I've just seen far too many Euro cars being plagued by issues. For what it's worth, my friend's Q5 burned through 4 LED DRLs in 6 months. That's just 1 example. Don't get me wrong, as much as I hate these issues, I am still terribly proud to own the M3. It has been my dream car since 2008, and I've accquired this car through my own effort, adding a bonus sense of accomplishment to it. AND I love the engine-----------PENIS ERRECTING NOW Just that I have a business to run, and really don't have the time to make trips to dealers all the time. |

Granted, to Team Pluto's point, these cars are pretty fracking reliable given how much tech is baked into them. But back to the main point: you're not paying top dollar for reliability! If you thought you were then you seriously fail to understand what a high performance car is. By the very definition it means "not normal". And not-normal is going to mean problems. So that's the deal. you PAID FOR RISK. your $80 was used to buy risk and BMW is making it easier to handle by lots of testing and a warranty but it's still shiz-load of risk. If you don't have the stomach for the risk, buy a toyota or a honda or whatever is on top of the reliability list if only as a second car to cover yourself. I don't mess with mods that touch my primary cats or engine software because I don't have cajones for the risk. I'm real comfy with that choice. High performance cars likely aren't for you just like mods aren't for me. You can't have your cake and eat it too. |

1) High performance cars are prone to have issues left and right BY DEFINITION. That includes feats such as R8, C63 Black Series, ZR1 and LP560-4. Those who buy these cars should simply keep their mouths shut and suck it up if their 100K or even 200K rides break down because they combine all the cutting edge tech. 2) BMW is not to be blamed for making 335i with unreliable N54 mills, or M3 with cow bells because guess what, buyers of these machines don't care much about reliability at all whatsoever. Are you listening to yourself? |

I'm complaining about a legit problem. Just like many are ranting about cow bell noise or EDC errors.
Not sure why some people are getting all defensive like fanbois. YES I love my M3, but NO I'm not going to bury my head in the sand, tell myself : "because race car!!!!111!!!!" and try to justify BMW's technical fuck-ups. |

This cracked me up. I don't know what it is but, I bet it's the problem.
Not making fun, just struck me as funny.

My guess is you will find fault in any car you drive.
