I'm sorry but bmw is kind of a junk car.

every single one that anyone I know that had one always had electrical problems. and sensor that constantly failed.

we had a 2002 525i on our car lot with 120k miles on it and it smoked like a freight train (burned oil) and the check engine light was on for 4 different sensors. which by the way would cost over $100 each.

anyway these engines blow my mind how they work

A LOT less moving parts in a Rotary motor.. really only 3 moving parts... compared with HUNDREDS in a traditional pushrod, so technically a lot less to fail.. BUT apex seals... ugh oh apex seals... and lets see typically poor fuel economy, low torque numbers and small displacement / positives.. can really hit high HP numbers with boost/ extremely lightweight/ maintianance isnt to bad if you dont mind keeps a quart of oil in your car.. lol.. in the end.. i loved my Rx-8.. i miss her greatly.. LOL

all cars have sensors that fail................. heat and vibrations do that.. being bmw has nothing to do with it.... I ve had Japanese and german vehicles
