[QUOTE=Nick Jeezy]im with him, i think they are just plane over-engineered.

i have had 3. a 73 bavaria, a 00 540i m package and a 01 540i m package(both 6 speed)

hate them. everything breaks. between 2 cars i have been thru 6 raditors 3 water pumps, a coolent tank,3 cluths, a p.s. pump, and now recently waiting on a water pump.

which btw is water cooled and is fucking an arm and a leg. and i have been waiting for it for about 3 weeks now.

[/QUOTE/] Thats ridiculous 6 radiators and 3 water pumps.... you must not have been doing something right.. just because you dont understand something it does not mean its over-engineered.
