1995 BMW 540/6: Head gasket, valve cover gaskets, $432 key replacement, head light ballasts that blew up, seat cables snapped and locked in position, OBC fan that sounded like a miniature weed wacker in the dash, door rust even though it lived inside, clutch slave, clutch master, idler pulley, glove box latches failed, steering box failure. You had that car for a year...
Should we talk about the E46 M3 or even the M52 swap car you had before that or have I been able to make my point??

The internet is a great place...right up to the point that you run into someone you know.
It's a little reassuring that some of you have experienced the same thing when you first purchased the car. Maybe I'm almost out of the woods. I will say that the car is very easy to work on, and yes far simpler then the M3 which was a complete nightmare. There were several jobs on that thing that took days to finish!
Cheers,
