You don't win this award 14 years IN A ROW with bad cars
No they are great cars, just things that break on them should never break and things that break on our german cars are very annoying but simple fixes from my experience. Typically our BMW's and Audi's soul (drive train/motor) will last forever. I can't tell you how many BMW's we've owned with over 300k on the drive train/motor. Not to mention some of these have seen lots of track time. On the other hand our RX is on its second transmission, our 75k 5 speed IS300 (which is a badass car) already needs a new motor to be problem free and our GS was literally about to crumple apart, it felt so like driving grandpa around. However, most of the electrical stuff stayed in tact and it was a descent beater after 10 years of ownership (and the A/C owned that of our 535, E30's etc.) but felt as if you were driving a beater versus a classic that'll still run as hard and take a beating as much as it did when it was brand new. This is just I.M.O. You could say between me and my family have owned atleast 6 of each make in the last 10 years so I speak from experience..and yes I drive with a lead foot, and expect my cars to put up with a session at the track during quiet time or some ass hauling on the way to the lake
