I am in the same as Lotus99 even though my co-worker who had the first of the last 5 series and had issues is constantly ragging on me. I had my E90 in the first year and it was fine. I would think that having the newest production line in all of BMW would be a big plus for quality in our vehicles.
I will be in SC later this week for pickup; I will let you know if I see anyone drinking on the job etc. during my tour
