    On my way home from work on the autobahn, the fuel pump died.
    I called a BMW serviceguy who came in his BMW car, and then he towed me off the autobahn.
    A friend of my dad then came in my dads BMW, and he towed me home.
    So two BMWs helped another BMW.

            First time was when my half shafts u-joints exploded and the second was when my water pump had a pretty catastrophic failure letting loose with most of my coolant. Thankfully I had switched to all electric fans or I would have needed a new rad too.
            Im now E30less.

                  Only once, had a chinese water pump desintegrate at 2 am in the country side.

                  Edit: Forgot one time when the alternator took a shit on me.

                  It was fun

                      +1 for both e30's I've had

                      previous cars not so much, just running outta gas that did me in.

                      EDIT: no, wait, that's a lie, my curent e30 had a shitty 10 yr old Interstate battery that took a shit on me. Luckily my bro was nearby and we got the current one I have in it now

                        Never ran out of petrol. Thats just dumb.
                        Half shft broke on me so I ruined the LSD to get me home.
                        Oil cooler seal blew, just filled the m20 with 20/50 to get home.

                          1st time I got in an accident. Ran out of gas a couple times. Ran a dead battery for a month twice. So I had to jump/push start my car everywhere. Went canyoning & had massive fuel cuts because of rediculous grade. Mostly my fault & not the cars. Oh & once my rotor almost exploded in my cap off a hard launch. Bent the contact on the rotor chunked the contacts on the dizzy & destroyed the key on the rotor. I hate my car lol

                                Water pump went on strike in my ETA a couple years ago... In traffic on I95 when it was 98 outside. I ended up with a new pump, radiator, cap and rotor, spark plugs and thermostat out of the deal. Most of that stuff was just maintenance while I was in there and I didn't pay a single penny for it.
