Some of you know me from the airheads part of the forum and know my dislike for anything other than BMW airhead bikes. Well, I can say as of today I am finished with ANY BMW vehicle other than said airheads.
Just had the water pump fail on my BMW 335i convertible at 75,000 miles and before that the valve cover warped at 50,000. Makes me believe I am back in time dealing with my grandfather's Rambler. The last two primary vehicles I owned, two Dodges a truck and car both went well over 100,000 miles without this kind of failure and cost a fraction of what this 335 cost new.
If BMW can't build a car that can go 100,000 miles without a major repair, I sure as heck won't be buying one of their bikes anytime soon. They reenforced my long standing belief the post 95 stuff is crap. St.
