You mean because the ZF doesn't last that long? I've got 140,000
miles.

I suppose I'll have to replace it eventually, but the E46 is just
perfect for me. I honestly don't like the newer 3-series as much.
The E90 is OK, I guess, but even that has a bunch of things I don't
like, like run-flats and "push to start". Plus it's bigger than what
I like.
