Between the Water Pump scandal and BMW screwing all their Connected Drive Customers that own cars pre 2017, I'll never buy another BMW.

You're probably looking at a $1300 repair.
It was more. Pump and T-stat were replaced, coolant flushed. Unrelated - had brakes flushed and oil changed. You add WA state 10.25% sales tax to all that and my baby is back for $3K.

You hit a note on the connected drive thing with me too. I love my 35i to death anyway. I could probably sell it for the same as I bought it for in 2018 but then what to you do? The car market is insane.

Ramen is delicious. I’m tapping into my emergency fund.
