Damn. 115,000 miles and all I have done is change the oil a few times.

Sounds like the road to church is a tough one. Might wanna give that up. My list of breakage is small compared to yours, but more major components. Maintenance list is quite high. But had fun with it, what counts, right?

You need to find a new church that's not 20 miles down a extreme trail. How on earth can you go through 4 batteries in under 8 years?

When you put lists like these, it really looks kind of scary.

Nothing has happened since I got my new 3, besides a front axle seal. UCA bushing is cut. Other than that its doing well.

My black 2006 h3 had over $10k in work done under warranty some from offroading some from known issues such as the head, exhaust manifold, shifter fork.
