I didn't realize that was already in progress! Really hope it works out for you. Seems 80,000 miles is around the time it happens.

I have experience with BMW quality going all the way back to a 1978 E12 530i. Along the way, there have been some impressive quality lapses on BMW's part. Even the minor lapses have been expensive. As far as 2 Series quality goes, I chose to buy mine knowing that it was a shot in the dark, and I'm okay with that.
If quality was first on my list, I'd've chosen a Toyota, or maybe a Lexus. My two Tundras just ran and ran. They only needed regular 5K servicing. I sold the second unit at 109K. At that point, it was due for a new frame due to a metallurgy issue discovered years after the trucks had been put on the road. My truck was 11 years old at that point, and Toyota said "Bring it in - let's get it done!" The new owner got a 2007 Tundra with a fresh frame; he should be good for 250K, at least.

Keep in mind if Toyota hadn't addressed the issue, the negative public exposure and potential injuries/death resulting from Toyota trucks literally separating in half while driving could be disastrous to the company.

It wasn’t just M3s, it was the whole lot of E46s, and I believe the sportier models merely put more stress on them due to being driven harder? I also think the coupes got it worse, but might be wrong.
