Shouldn't you two just get a room?
Most certainly not. He'd spend all his time arguing that it wasn't a room, and that the room website describe it as a unicorn hut.

The point being that the F10 didn't have a catalogue of issues (merely as more modern cars are less likely to), and thus are not subject to finding workarounds.
Cars have been criticised for being too complex for 25years now, the argument being they will be impossible to work on as they get older. And yet, they are just as easy, and more commonly easier, as the workshops respond who to the car's needs have corresponding equipment.
umm, F10 does have its own issues and yes, equipment is becoming more expensive, any neighbour with a bit of technical knowledge and basic tools could fix your E39, try that with F10Cars have been criticised for being too complex for 25years now, the argument being they will be impossible to work on as they get older.

And how many VANOS units were unnecessarily replaced at ridiculous cost under warranty because they sounded a bit clattery despite not being an actual issue? Thereby inflating the apparent costs to daft levels.
exactly, mine sounded a bit rough especially when cold but I didn't mind and it wasn't really noticeable until you opened the hoodp1stonhead said:
Switchable 4wd / 2wd is genius isnt it?!
Best of both worlds!
Or is not quite that simple?
it isn't, you are hauling two hundred pounds of dead weight all the time you don't need 4wd, which for most users will be most of the timeBest of both worlds!

The M535, came before any 3 series version. And they were built because MB had the 190 2.3 16v, were racing it, and BMW "had nothing to respond with". BMW had no sports version of the 5 series at this time so decided to build one, hence the M535 in 1984. It's all on the M Division website.

I'll let you review the numerous times this has been answered. But feel free to keep requoting yourself.
