Didn't know how good I had it with GM's.

I own a 2000 Bonneville with 90k miles. Also have a 1991 Firebird with 231,000 miles.
Well just recently I bought a BMW 740iL and I can't seem to drive it without something going wrong. Left me stranded 3 times due to a Radiator neck breakage which apparently is very common on BMW's reading the boards. Apparently they make their radiators out of cheap plastic and their motors don't take much to cook because they are aluminum and the heads warp easily in heat. Motors cost $12,000 on BMW's.
Thank you very much, going to stick with GM vehicles from now on. My Firebird still has original Radiator after 231,000 miles. Also no major repairs have been needed.
