This and the BS I'm dealing with on my E53 makes me want to fly to München and administer corrective beatings.

Maybe we can get a bunch of BMW guys and make it a road trip!
My list also includes:
See photos…
The Mickey Mouse plastic coolant fitting that likes to break (before I found the aluminum replacement.)
The 20amp fuse in the trunk for the EKP/LPFP that prevents the engine from running.
The vent hose from the valve cover to the Turbo Inlet Pipe that deteriorates from the inside out so it looks fine. Just don’t touch it!
I’ll throw in the oil level sensor fails even when brand new that warns that the engine is dangerously low on oil even when it’s not. The engineer who made the decision to do away with an oil dipstick might as well call his wife to say that he won’t be home anytime soon.
