Not all- I had a 1985 325i Zinnerbot, and it was great.

My '04 545i, on the other hand, CRAP. Everything on that car broke at least once- it was all under warranty, but I was in a loaner/rental more than I was in my 545. It didn't qualify for Lemon law, but I bitched and screamed and threatened until the dealership bought it back. From what I hear, the sales manager drove it for 6 more months and then sent it to auction.

But, like I said, not all- my buddy Len has an '05 M3 with 40,000 miles and not a single problem.

My wife's 05 X3 is no winner either. Tons of nagging design flaws and service from the dealer is less than spectacular. We are trying to dump the lease for a new Camry Hybrid!

I thought the Aveo is made in Korea by Hyundai in the same factory where they build the Hyundai Getz... it looks much better than a Fit

No, its made by Daewoo which is a separate Korean car company that is now owned by GM at least to my knowledge. Hyundai does own KIA, maybe you were thinking of that...
