I worked for BMW doing PDI's (all new deliveries for Euro models) and 24 hours service support (onside service support) before moving out and we did a lot of silent recalls. The 7, 5, and 3 series had a lot of silent recalls (kept secret from the public, we replaced fuel lines that had a tendency to explode when it got too hot, replaced water pumps that exploded (made of plastic, clutches that failed and burned out because it couldn't handle the heat of going up and down mountain range passes, disk brakes that warped/failed early due to heat (couldn't handle high temps for a long time) failure, electronic issues left and right with multiple failure points with their black boxes, etc (I could go on and on but the list is too long. Most of our fellow mechanics we're former Merc mechanics (we got paid big bucks to transfer over) and even they said that we never encountered any of these issues with MBenz (Euro models. Such a shame really, considering what they were in the 80's and what they are now in terms of reliability. This is coming from an owner of a E30 320i and a C124 230 CE.

Sheep? HA More like lemmings. well, per DisneyFunny thing is, after the whole OPEC thing and gas prices shot up in the late 70's and into the 80's. everyone went to small cars, hatchbacks, and the lot such as the lemons like the Pacer and Chevorlet's Chevette (when my family lived in Warwick back in the 80's we had one of those little beaters. then I myself had 4 GM J-Bods, an 84, an 86 (nearly identical though I think the 86 had some weight reduction plus the it was a sedan where as the 84' was a coupe) a 94' Bird with a 2. 0, and most recently an 01' Sedan which was after the redesign in 95. Though, for some reason I feel like it was more like a poor man's Fox Body (yeah, Scotty, I read what you said, but it was as I said, the OPEC era and Ford too went smaller on body but the engines. wink )

The pimpin' car manufacturers are so confused and clueless about what the buyers really want by being concerned 1st & foremost by, who cares nonsense, such as the latest fad giant ugly grill, trouble prone technology and coming for 2020, The Toto toilet system installed under one of the rear seats that automatically spray cleans & blow dries the passengers undercarriage after responding to the call of nature at say, 150 mph. High, ho, silver Novel concept. = What buyers really want is the least problems possible and not having to bend over at a car business pimp place for endless money pit repairs.

Hi If you buy a car in Arizona, keep in mind that it MIGHT need new tires and a new battery. Heat does a battery in -- even ones with a many-miles warranty. [I am quite sure at least once I have been given credit on a battery that died. ] Tires get a real workout on hot roads. [One of the streets in Tucson was paved with the wrong mixture of asphalt ingredients. And the asphalt has a permanent wave where it has been churned aside in hot weather. ] While tires and a battery are no budget-busters, this is just a word to the wise.

i feel like the first manufacturer to make a small (oldschool small. not these midsize modern trucks that are considered small these days), reliable, manual transmission truck, would make a killing in the market. am i the only one who misses the old tacomas, rangers, frontiers, b2200s, etc. etc. etc?

. yes, ,the big tail fin era was an interesting time. The manufacturers did half heartedly once state that the fins aided high speed steering stability but those pointy things were definitely dangerous to pedestrians. One or two social sciences or fine arts academics did a PhD on the subject.
