yeah i just have an e30, and it needs a head job, because they all do. you need to reweld the head, because its made of grey cheese, and cracks, i need new rocker arms @$30 each because they are a crappy design and cast poorly, the new ones are made badly, but reinforced. the valves are prolly shot, cams wear out in german cars too...



and then its STILL slow

yeah the maintenance is built into the price of the car. how else do you explain a $20000 car for $40000. Hey but it comes with lifetime free car washes!

But...but...but.... Every car magazine in the world is always shouting about how good BMW's are. They are the car that every other car should try to be. The 3-series is the "perfect automobile". Flawless in every way. The standard to which all other cars are measured. Are they wrong?
