It is also true that exotic sports cars are just that, I don't know what the Achilles heels are of Lambos but I have read many a Ferrari Halloween horror story.

Porsche created the liquid cooled flat 6 in 1997. Thats 12 years to get it right????? RMS, IMS etc.
I could go on but I have no respect for a company that treats its customers as lab rats. I don't see BMW as terribly different, although their engines seem to hold up. Not so the auto trans.
Again, I love the engineering, handling, performance and looks of the Box. I hate that the company seems to be indifferent to their cars breaking and attendant costs.
IMHO.
