Default RANT on my bmw

Ok, well the electrical system is fucking up, I knew it would eventually, well it finnaly came. Somewhere in the electric locking system theres a live wire hitting metal and blowing 2 fuses. So I have no power locks anymore, my windows and sunroof dont work. My AC is just gay and only works half the time, the other half I get this ammonia smell under my nose, dunno why, but its annoying. My windsheild wipers are on the fritz, they only work on the highest speed, and only the drivers side one works. The regulator arm on the pass window is bent so the window comes down a bit just on the front part after a few miles on the road. The wheels are out of balance so at 70mph it feels like my teeth are gonna fall out. Lets see, oh, it idles like shit, the mufflers holy and sounds like a b16 with a fart can. The rear main leaks like nasty whore whose got some vaginal discharge action going on. Outside that, its just a pile of shit. Never buy a E34 bmw unless that bitch is PRISTINE!

You know, it is really hit or miss on these fucking things. I've seen 89 beemers with NO problems and the guy hasn't done a thing to it, and then theres like 95's whose electrical worse them mine.

Stereotypical, not really, its well known that older bmws have bad electric systems, but jaguar is where that really comes from in all their glorinous. Until they switched over the the bosch system their's were horrific.

Every old Volvo that I have owned has been great to me... and 90% of them are the same way

Mercedes on the other hand... It seems hit or miss with those as well... My dad's 87 420SEL had some elec problems among other things, but his 84 300SD ran awesome and really had nothing wrong with it other than the fact it probably did the 1/4 in more time than a dump truck with a full load.
