No. Try to get a hold of some back issues of Bimmer magazine an read the tech help columns by Mike Miller. While the cars are interesting and fun to drive, modern BMWs have serious reliability problems due to several factors, the number 1 being lack of preventive maintenance. Several years ago BMW began offering free maintenance, which essentially turned out to be NO maintenance save an oil change every 15-20K. Most BMW owners lease their cars or buy extended warranties and then dump them prior to the warranty running out. The used market has caught on; check out used BMW prices before and after warranty. And if you get stuck with the repairs, they're very expensive. Nice car, but an expensive "ownership experience" for the unwary.
