I've known both good and bad dealer experiences with techs, sorry you had a bad one.
That aside I am hesistant as well regarding "new" BMW's stuff...I think from here on if I were to go new it'd be a new lease and let them have the pile of electronic rubble after I'm done flogging it. Why? Because of your horror story above. BMW and I would surmise most other manufacturer's these days only build a car to last the length of the warranty.
Honestly I feel the newest I'd go and feel comfortable wrenching would be the E46/E38/E39 generation. Maybe an E60 but definitely nothing with a N-series engine involved...
