FOURTEEN REASONS " NOT " TO PURCHASE A ( BMW ) AUTOMOBILE ! part 1

On March 12th 1999, I purchased a brand new BMW 528IA loaded with all the extra's, for my wife's birthday. The total sale price was $ 52,121.42 after I added wheel dust covers and sunroof air deflector. Anyone and everyone that knows me would tell you how much time I spend taking care of everything I own, in other words I am very punctilious. My thoughts were paying that much for a vehicle I would get great performance for 150000 to 200000 thousand miles with little to no repairs, as long as I kept the BMW serviced. That was the only way I could see paying that much for an automobile; boy was I wrong. The following fourteen reasons will tell you why BMW is nothing but ( JUNK ), boy did I get ripped off. I am not listing all oil changes because I knew they would have to be made when my BMW automobile told me to and I did just as BMW called for; I do have all my oil change records . # 1 On June 18th 2001, mileage on my BMW was 29746 noted on BMW dealer repair order, replaced front brakes and rotors, cost to me $507.06; note: rear cup holder was replaced at n/c . # 2 On November 1st 2002, mileage on my BMW was 45048 noted on BMW dealer repair order, service engine, balance tires, replace wiper blades, replace a/c compressor drive belt, cost to me $353.45 . # 3 On August 7th 2004, mileage on my BMW was 63509 noted on BMW dealer repair order, performed an inspection II, brake liner repair kit, 2 disk brakes, sensor, replaced rear cup holder again only this time holder cost me $ 50.00; remember this because it comes up again, replaced brake fluid, replaced drive belts, replaced front and rear brakes, rotors, and sensors; cost to me $1960.02 . # 4 On March 2nd 2005, mileage on my BMW was 68112 noted on BMW repair order, replaced power steering hose, return pipe, suction pipe, checked battery, battery tested good; note charged me $ 42.50 just to test battery, cost to me $345.95. # 5 On December 17th 2005, mileage on my BMW was 74720 noted on local auto repair center Johnson's repair order, replaced rear constant vel carrier, replaced left front fog lamp, cost to me $422.34. # 6 On June 19th 2006, mileage on my BMW was 76600 noted on local auto repair center Johnson's repair order, replaced battery, cost to me $106.95. # 7 On August 3rd 2006, mileage on my BMW was 77876 noted on BMW dealer repair order, replaced ASC module and coded, cost to me $1058.09.
