Hopefully BMW could say the same. My 4year warranty ended and the nightmare is already beginning.

My brother has the same problem. His M3 has a ton of quality & reliability issues that are not cheap to fix.
Back on topic, I think if more people give Ford a chance they will be pleasantly suprised.

Sorry to hear that. I bought mine used, with no warranty. No major problems to date almost three years in.
Just don't take the car to the dealer. There has to be a shop in your town that specializes in german cars that will charge half the dealerships labor rate.
I don't know about the M but with my 330Ci I can order parts online and fix most things in my garage too. Even when I had my resevoir replaced I ordered the parts myself and brought them to the shop that did the repairs. I only paid labor. These cars only have high repair costs for lazy people.

"These cars only have high repair costs for lazy people."
And people with jobs and families and otherwise don't have the time/patience to sit around waiting for the mail-order parts to arrive so they can drive it to a repair shop during the late of night when it's less of an issue should the brakes/engine/suspension let go.
It's nice that you got a BMW that only has a few manageable things falling off of it... but don't act like everyone has the spare time and luck that you do.

Let me guess! The nightmare started on the day after the warranty expired?
Ya know. Any Dell computer I had does that. And everytime my Norton (NIS) expires my computer turns to garbage!
