"Small" things that failed

I love the car, but part of me says sell this poorly made piece of sht now, and buy one of those Corvettes that you hate or go back to BMWs! And the other half says you've already replaced everything that's going to fail why sell it now. What would you guys do?

I really don't see what you're complaining about here, chief. I've known your cars for sometime and this one isn't any further off base than the others. For instance:
1999 Z3 Coupe- failed seat bracket bushings, window regulator required significant structural reinforcement, air vents get sucked out of the windows, hood cable which required the removal of the front end of the car, rear hatch rattles, strut bushings. You had that car for eight months.
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??
