I finally gave up on bmw last year (after 15 years and 4 models) due to their reliability and cost of repair. I don’t think I’d touch them after spending thousands chasing down coolant repairs due to poor design (plastic parts, high labor cost location to inspect and replace).


Yes my wife’s x7 has been through 2 water pumps and now the control and thrust arms were leaking hydraulic fluid. Only 60k miles.


For me it was 70k. And it wasn’t the breaking. It was the poor engineering that caused the break.
