    Some of the roads over here are absolutely atrocious. Think of the worse cobble stone road you've ever driven on, and multiply that by 2. Some parts are just that bad.

    In my E30, I've driven through a pothole so bad, it destroyed my rear shock mount. Once that was replaced, it destroyed it AGAIN. Even with a bad quality part (*cough*URO*cough*), it shouldn't be that easy to destroy a shock mount.


    When I was in Florida, there wasn't a single pothole in sight - ANYWHERE! It was heaven... too bad I was in a rental car and not mine.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    My FCABs were totally shot at 50k. I don't think it's so much the salt as it is the rough roads. PA in particular is terrible. Some of the worst highways I've ever driven on.

    Another one to add.

    105k miles - Fuel pump died.

    Easy swap out for new one. Love how easy these cars are to work on. With the help of great forums of course =)

    I guess mine is a rare occurrence. Driver side Mirror actuator failure which affects passenger controls as well due to memory seats.

    Both front window regulator @ 53k miles
    Fuel level sensor @53k ( thinking of changing the other side too with the pump) it seems like the fuel gauge is still not right.
    Control arm bushings @ 53k just because it's free lol
