I've had a lot of experience with different brands in the intermediate price level and yeah, BMWs tend to be a little more high maintenance than the rest. However, I love the driving experience in a class of car I can actually afford so I accept the idiosyncrasies. But also, most all my cars have had some odd characteristic or two.

Well, except my Mustang GT that I bought new in 2016 then put 95,000 miles on it without so much as a oil leak. That was a bit of head scratcher in it's own way.

But here's some food for thought. Of all my cars through the years the one that's been the most problematic is actually the daughters N280 Toyota 4 Runner. It's not the labor of working on it like taking the engine out to the seal service but the parts on that thing are like Aston Martin prices. Eight hundred dollars for an oil cooler?? It's far and away costing us the most money to keep running out of the Camry, Mercedes ML, Jeep Wrangler, Honda Accord and my F30.
