I only know because I was thinking about S4 avant and did some research.
generally they are fine if you don't chip it. once chipped seeme many of the turbos will die on you and those bastards are deep inside the engine bay.

no.
h:nah seriously though, all were a result of electrical faults. the friend with the 3 had it for sale and no insurance so he took a total loss.... torched bimmer and nothing to do with it.
edit: i dont know the nature of the 330ci but c'mon a 2003????
edit2: the friend with the 5 series had his parked in the garage.... so i dont think he was gonna risk losing his house over some pyro fun (or insurance fraud
)

):chuckles: sucks for them
I'm on my 4th bmw with no major issues whatsoever
I guess it's possible but if any car is not maintained it's possible. There was also a recall I thought for 330ci/i or anything with the 3.0L engine.
