Thanks Mike, figured you'd be open to sharing your experience and potentially save other forum members from having to figure out how much that same mistake might cost them.
Appreciate it. Quote:

As an aside, there have been stories around the forums of needing to lemon 335 for various reasons, so bmw isn't immune to issues either. The Porsche and AMG owned by friends and family have had many small things as well. Except in those cases, brand loyalty and big HP and loaner cars are around to help smooth the experience. I've sort of come to the conclusion that no matter what the car is there is a chance for issues, so you might as well get whatever you like regardless of brand. |

The story above is ridiculous though especially when someone spent 50k on a car and it's brand spanking new. Knock on wood most of the BMWs we've had over the years have been pretty rock solid. The most problematic one that sticks out is my 2011 335is with N54. Loved it but it wasn't without its issues. |

One of my biggest pet peeves with car searching is dealership BS. I immediately write off any dealership that even tries to pull none sense on me. I know my cars, I don't need a sales pitch. Those who are honest with me are the ones that tend to get my business, the others can just go off themselves.

4 trips to 4 dealers just to buy one should have been my first clue. And who's looking for paint peeling on a new car? Gaze in horror!

I still think it's cool you tried it out, although that's easy for my to say not having to go through all the BS that ensued. |

It also helps if the car is a toy that isn't a daily driver. For a four doors car like Stinger GT that is almost certainly a daily driver it's a tough situation. |
