"Despite all of its problems, I love my car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The odometer is broken.

Fuses kept on blowing.

Timing belt broke.

Muffler fell off.

Alternator broke.

Serpentine belt went bad.

Bees now reside in the car.

General comments?

I love my car. It's a good trophy for my driveway, since I currently do not have the funds to fix it up.

I highly look forward to driving it again, it's a great car in handling and looks.

It was fun to drive when it worked, but it was highly unreliable. I broke down while driving on four different occasions.

Not knowing the actual mileage is a little frustrating.

Gee, you bought a 16 year old car and you're surprised you're having problems? We have a 1987 528e bought new and meticulously maintained. It's never had a serious problem. I suspect that the issue was bad or non existent maintenance by several previous owners.
