I bought this right at a year ago. I have put about 2500 miles total on it since I bought it. I'm thinking it should last a long time at this rate
You know, BMW is German for Bring More Wrenches...... :icon_mrgreen:
Pretty cool. I give up on having nice cars anymore, I am just happy if they keep running an don;t fall apart on the dirt roads after a year.

You, my friend, have no idea just how right you are. These are a high maintenence ride, according to the forums I read. A battery for the thing, is 3-500 dollars. And it has to be "registered" so the electronics know there is a new battery in there and can adjust the charge rate accordingly. :sadness:
I worked on one once a while back, and what struck me was that there are more relays in one of those than I have ever seen in one place anywhere else. BMW's don't have simple electrical circuits, keeping with the German engineering philosophy of "if it's not complicated, it's not worth s--t."
Do you have to run special BMW oil in it? One of the upper end Mercedes V8's uses a very specific oil, and if you don't, it voids your warranty. Unbelievable....
I think I'll hang on to my old Ranger a little while longer! :disturbed:
Its special alright. So is every last fluid in it. I have changed it all except for brake fluid so far. $$$$$$ what can $$$$$$ I $$$$$ say $$$$$ ? :eek5:
