Faults:
The top leaks and puddles up in the floor boards. Have been to the dealer to fix and all they did was apply some caulk to the windshield, still leaks. (3 visits)
Have a pulsing from the brakes. The dealer replaced the parking break cable and re surfaced the rear rotors, problem is still present and they have no idea how to fix, and in turn have extended the warranty on the brake system to 40k miles. (4 visits)
Had the throttle body sensor go out. The dealer informed me it was the throttle body itself, so I replaced just the throttle body at a much higher price ($350) to find out it was actually only the sensor that was bad, a $60 part.
General Comments:
The car looks amazing and is fun to drive. Although it can't compare to my old 540i, it's still a lot of fun.
The gas mileage isn't all that great (14mpg), but that's not why I bought it LOL.
Overall it probably won't hold up all that well from what I can tell so far, but I probably won't be keeping it too much longer.

- Park it & leave the keys in the ignition. A car thief will be glad to help you out then.
