The problem I have with BMWs is that my biggest pet peeve is when an engine burns oil (when it's not supposed to). It's common for BMWs to burn more oil than even a sick rotary. I think a big part of the reason it bugs me so much is that it's very difficult to assess during a pre-purchase inspection. Dealers don't know (and would lie through their teeth even if they did), and most private sellers will plead ignorance.

Yeah sorry I can't help you with BMW engine issues - though I will say that often these types of issues are related to poor maintenance and lack of care for a vehicle rather than 'all BMW engines burn oil' type of thing.
