"Hi I am selling my beautiful bmw 540 i se model. This car is amazing to drive and fully loaded with all electrics working. I bought this three
years ago, and had undergone engine rebuild at BMW.
Genuine reason fro sale is that it is not required due to a new job, bought this for long distance journeys due to BMW reliability."

Maybe the seller just enjoys unreliable cars, in which case they made a good choice with the BMW 
While I would have normally defended BMW to the hilt i have an older 2002 325i sport that is a fantastic car, well appointed runs as sweet as a
nut...
But as a company car i have a new 320D that is biggest P.O.S I have ever driven its cheap, plasticy and drives horribly, and has broken down more
than its been running, its a hateful thing to drive.
It has only one thing going for it, and thats that thankfully I didnt pay me hard earned for it..... roll on when my Passat CC is ready for delivery
