Beyond the initial bugs and complications of keeping these systems running, only time will tell the extent of their durability. It's one thing to have some peripheral dependency on black boxes but when the core of a vehicle is completely dependent on them I suspect these cars won't be of much use after 10 years or so. Anyone using a 10 year old PC out there? Even a good backyard mechanic would have significant difficulty understanding the ins and outs of these cars. Not to mention getting parts! AND it's trickling down to less expensive vehicles. I, for one, am holding on to my 11 year old Saab and 25 year old Bug. Hell, compared to a 7 series they're like working on a bicycle!
