Maybe when it comes to repairs
Otherwise it's just about the same as maintain an E32 3.5 (Except u need 12 sparkplugs  ) |
I kind of know both of you guys, I can see where both of you are coming from, my day job is as a software/systems engineer, so I know complexity when I see it.
The BMW M70/S70 engine is quite complex but if you find someone who knows it & the motronic that goes with it most of the diagnosis problems go away, and my guess is 90% of the problems relate to working out what the problem is, thats based on my experience of "hard" problems in the telco world.
Finding a good shop thats not a "stealer" I think is the key to running a Bimmer and not having to get your hip pocket nerve cauterised
