You may have some small issues such as the wheel bearing issue but BMW has taken care of everything for me to my satisfaction so far. I have 12k miles and I've had it for over 12 months.

It's great to drive!

I take really good care of my cars, it gets cleaned a few times a week. I thought about wrapping high impact items but there is no incentive for me because I lease. I do ceramic coating but that's for ease of cleaning.

I regret that I've let them get away with the wheel bearing issue for almost 12 months.

Every squeak but the brakes apparently

As soon as you are standing on a traffic light among other SUVs even sport cars and then the green light lit up.. and you started behind a sport car and you see a black smoke comming out form their exhaust meaning that he is giving all they have and you know that you are just starting to press and you have plenty of available power on your feet, this is when you wont have any regrets about it.
