Just posted this on the E46 forum, thought I'd do it here, too.
Do y'all think some of this has been done in the E90?
BMWs are the Ultimate Driving Machines......
Why don't they do what the Japanese do and steal their competitors' best practices? :dunno:
I'm talking about all the "little" things that the Japanese do so well that make their cars so trouble free - power windows, electronics in general, engine cooling systems, make their (BMW's) engine components (water pumps, alternators, etc) and suspensions more durable, reducing NVH (noise/vibration/harshness) i.e. annoying little squeaks and rattes, etc. And why does BMW paint their interior plastic trim instead of making the plastic in the color they need. I've never seen another car that does that.
I'm kinda thinking they (German engineers) are so focused on the Ultimate Drive, down deep they don't really think those other things are really important. But, it's been proven it can be done and it seems it would be so easy.
Just imagine how stupid crazy we'd all be about BMWs if they were the Ultimate Driving Machines that didn't have little sniggling issues along with them!!!
Whachy'all think?
