My e28 is faster than F10 M5s....

Better than Porsche calling all of their major issues 'isolated incidents'. BMW might not build the most reliable new engines, but at least they stand behind them.

For the most part, anyway.

We all know if it'd had been cheaper to replace a bunch of blown up engines they would have not done shit and just thrown a TSB out IN CASE the oil pump failed. Or if the engines were lasting past 50k miles then dropping pumps around 60k.

i agree first year models are trouble. second year is slightly better but some kinks have been worked out. third should be good.

Gotta let BMW do their thing in 3 years when they facelift them. Then is the time to buy.

At work over here, I had a 2012 X5 4.0d yesterday that the oilpump went on it- and took out the integrated vacuum pump- it filled the brake booster with oil. wonder if this is kinda related even though the motors are completely different????

Funny thing is it's not a first year car. They had a 2012 model in Europe & Canada. Whatever supplier provided a bad batch of pumps. I'd be bummed too if I spent a 100k on a new car and couldn't drive it for a month.

Come on BMW...get your heads in the game. You built great cars in the 80s...
