I agree to an extent, and to be honest i'm more or less thankful that my issues have been relatively "cheap" to fix and haven't kept my car off the road for more than a day or two at a time. I do think however that any potential 1 series buyer has to be prepared for problems, this isn't a Honda Civic. Ultimately I love this car, and I would trust it for a long drive every time, in spite of the issues that i've had. Come to think of it, the only issue that literally prevented my car from being driven was the original HPFP, everything else has been an annoyance. The o2 sensor being a perfect example- annoying to have to take it in, but since the one that broke just checks the primary cat status, the car is still perfectly drivable. Flaws and all, i'd recommend this car to anyone any time.
