I agree completely, right when that 50k mark comes, it turns into a ticking time bomb...
I like to say that BMWs are "The Ultimate Drivng Machine" for maybe 50 thousand miles... 
The last German car we had was a VW Passat 2.0L turbo and it went through like 3 water pumps and 1 turbo in the 3 years we had it, and it overheated 3 times when the water pump gave out, LOL (lease, THANK GOD)
And the other car we currently have is a 328i Coupe, and that ALSO has some issues, the engine makes a weird clunking noise (thankfully it's also a lease and goes back to the dealershit in a week or two)
