my input would be...the newer cars are more complex and therefore are more prone to breakage although much lower in their duty cycle of R&R so many times less likely to need repair at less than 100k miles which most Bimmers will run to without needing too much. After that...hold on....Katie bar the door when parts start to wear...will be shades of the E-32 750iL...only worse...shades of EDC replacement...lol...a veritable flood gate...especially the very new Bimmers which have techno-trick everything....gonna be a real heavy hit to keep them running right.
Just returned from a 500 mile road trip up North for the 4th. My E-32 at almost 150k literally ran perfect. Do think it may be time to swap out rear subframe bushings. Anybody have the BMW spec puller they would like to rent me for a week? Is there an M5 rear sub frame bushing P/N that may be stiffer than the stock E-34 rear subframe bushings?...not unlike a different spec P/N for the front thrust arm bushings?
Thanks,
George
will try to get the CD43 radio installed in the next couple of weeks.
