NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, I had a 2007 GTI and that thing had the following go wrong, in the first three years:
1) intake manifold flap motor
2) ABS pump
3) CD changer
I hope yours is more reliable than mine was. It drove me to a GX460 and I haven't looked back.

Hi Cory.
Just to clarify, are you talking about mechanical issues or the mechanics and how much they charge, my BMW 525TD's (bought very used with 196000 and 150000 miles respectively) had very few problems, far fewer than I expected from the mileage, but man they knew how to charge at the workshop, and even at my price range and mileage they still depreciated like falling off a cliff!
Angela wanted a 318, wow the build quality of that sucked compared to the 5 series cars.
Cheers, Graham.

I did all routine maintenance myself, but occasionally there was something that required help. The dealership was out, but there are 4 independent BMW mechanics within a reasonable distance who all have good reputations (of competence and not of customer service), but all had this weird anti-customer customer service attitude. I really looked into this and it wasn't me.Valvebounce said:
They all knew what to do, but would sometimes do good work and sometimes not. It was completely hit or miss with all of them and they were far enough away that it really got to be a massive pain. I'm meticulous and leave no stone unturned with upkeep so it just got to be too much and finally said, "I'm out."
My new thing is precision maintenance and once hitting 150,000 miles am moving on to another new car.
So it wasn't necessarily mechanical issues or how much they charge, but requiring severe beatings and I just couldn't take it anymore.
