If you want to cherry pick isolated issues in an attempt to downplay how much better performing modern BMW's are overall I can make a huge list of performance cars that have notable issues
* E36 M3 upper shock tower cracking
* E46 M3 subframe cracking
* C6 Z06 valve guides
* 996 and 997 Porsche IMS bearings
* GT-R transmission failures (had to have mine replaced)
* W204 C63 AMG head bolts
Happy to provide more examples.
- jacquesm 6y agoBreaking aluminum bolts is another one that is surprisingly common in some brands. They also tend to live just long enough for the warranty to expire. https://rennlist.com/forums/porsche-macan/1085919-cautionary-tale-of-oil-leak-timing-cover-4.html https://rennlist.com/forums/porsche-macan/1085919-cautionary... IMS bearings are an issue until 2009, engines produced after that point starting with the 9A1 no longer have an IMS.

Is the conditions they created by brainwashing the consumers over a long time now they have to figure out what is the next “bankruptcy-saving” innovation all while keeping the price point, they choose to go the consumer electronics way but with >$30K “gadgets” so no wonder why you can call yourself lucky if your shiny machine lasts more than 5 years.
