Try owning a BMW. Engine is bullet proof, but everything electronic will fail with a huge bill to follow. For example, the electronic thermostat was $400. All four window regulators failed on my 325i...around $500 each. I don't trust American cars for reliability and after my experience with German I am back to Japanese. I owned 4 Hondas and never did anything to them other than scheduled maintenance.

I've had my '97 Acura for 15 years now and 100,000 miles,with only a power window motor to pay for. Still looks, drives and feels like new---and I'm not exaggerating.

I forgot my final stage resistor for the climate control on the Bimmer failed resulting in a $700 bill. I also had both rear springs break. Granted Chicago roads are crap, but they were the same roads I drove in my Hondas with no spring problems. My girlfriend drive the same roads in her Miata with no broken springs. Needless to say, I was very disappointed with BMW quality. Great car to drive, but bring lots of money to the party. Knock on wood, the Z is great so far.
