   I once owned a 525i on which I had to replace almost everything because BMW   
   only knows how to make drive trains - BMW has no idea how systems work   
   together.   
      
   An example is the DISA valve is an abomination, as is the CCV and even the   
   ABS control module has those angel hairs which break in the goop they're   
   intertwined with.   
      
   The seat cables cause seat twist. Even something as simple as the   
   cupholders break. The Dorman window regulators have too small of a nylon   
   roller so the cable falls off. And don't even get me started on the Behr   
   plastic overly complex expansion tanks.   
      
   The water pump fails prematurely (and requires two special tools, including   
   a very thin very long 32mm open-end wrench to access), while the trunk loom   
   constantly frays causing shorts all over the place due to bare wires   
   touching.   
      
   Everyone had the BMW software (much of which was in German) including but   
   not limited to dis, easydis, gt1, progman, inpa, and ncs dummies & expert.   
      
   Much as I've studied the strange nature of you Apple trolls, I've always   
   wondered why BMW engineers can't make two systems work together other than   
   the drive train and suspension. Those do work fantastically together.   
      
   Nothing else does though... (at least not on the 525i which is the only   
   bimmer that I know about - but don't get me started on the beemers).
