I would disagree.
We put 100k (starting mileage was 10) on that thing and never had a single issue with it. It was an automatic to.
But alas, you bang your wife and start asking yourself, "where da fk did all these kids come from......?"
Hence the larger vehicle we now.

I used to have a BMW 135i. Its the twin turbo inline 6 cylinder. It uses the cartridge style paper filter. The filter is mounted above the engine, so it drains when you shut the car off. When you pop the hood its right there. Way easier. No mess.
That being said, the oil change was the only easy maintenance item on that car. Everything else was stupid complicated and expensive. That's why its been replaced with a Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7 Hemi. Which has a 45 degree mounted filter, also a ****** mess.

My brother in law also has an E38. The dealer quote him 2500 dollars to replace all the seals on the rear differential. Two axle seals and a pinnion seal. Not joking.
BMW can't make a valve cover gasket that doesn't leak after 20K miles --- because if they did they would have to close their doors. lol.
But the cars do live forever if you keep the schedule up. $$$$$$$
Just told my wife the Big Money Wasted joke.
