So my G70 sunroof exploded on the highway today. #&@!

How much did the repair cost you?

However, as I've mentioned before, maybe I was just lucky, but my 2006 330i with 80k miles and 2011 335xi with 65k miles (so both out of warranty) were both extremely reliable. I wouldn't have been afraid to keep either of them much longer than I did. I sold one because I decided I wanted AWD, and then I sold the other when a loaded sport model with a manual became available. The biggest issue I have with BMW now is their styling. I don't like their looks or their new dash/gauge layout.

I, too, had a 2006 330i RWD "back in the day"... bought it used about 1 year old, loved that car with the high-output NA motor. However, it required a head replacement under warranty (the bill was like CAD14K back in 2009!!!) and started costing me a lot for small stuff even while under the Certified-Series B2B (but inclusionary) extended warranty. I ended up having to trade it for SUV (Hyundai Veracruz) after having a second kid.

I agree with your comments on current BMW styling, I really disliked the current 3 inside and out.
