Another happy customer!
Not to mention, BUT I WILL, BMW's refusal to equip the SO CALLED Ultimate Driving Machine with a aluminum water pump impeller! They continue to equip ALL their cars w/plastic WHICH PROMPTLY EXPLODES causing.........you guessed it overheating, blown head gaskets, warped heads...etc. And you get all of this for only $50,000.00, sounds too god to be true! As usual run by Bean Counters.
BMW SUCKS!

If he seems to hate BMW so much, then why exactly did he buy a 2001 M3? That makes no sense...

My 2001 330i will be here on 6/10 and my 2002 M3 should be here in March. Just another version of BON. All things mechanical will have problems. How they are delt with makes the difference. Where to even begin with the Lightning. Does not mean I don't enjoy the truck or plan to get rid of it.

100% agree - I couldn't have said it better!!!
These are by no means your regular vehicles and we should expect 'issues' to come up now and then.
Overall, these vehicles are a blast to drive as they give you thrills that you would not get out of a regular vehicle. Otherwise we would have chosen an everyday F150 or a 330 instead of getting a Lighting or a M3...

I'm not too sure that is the best perspective. That guy, and his ramblings seem to have appeared in every auto user group in existence. Methinks he has an agenda.

This guy is a looney. If you actually read his crap and see his agenda, it's apparent. This is one guy, if one guy can make you decide not to buy a car, please god dont read the intercooler leakage post, or the piston slap post, or the door crack post.

I've known plenty of people with BMW's and they are excellent cars. I want an M3 myself

Looks like he is targeting High Performance boards. Best cars I have ever owned. 325i,328i,528i,540i, and 3 M3's. Soon there will be a 330i added to that list. In my experience the only cars that come close in quality and service is Porsche.
