Do: drive in the right lane unless passing

Don't: use an oil saturated air filter. this can cause the oil from the filter to contaminate the MAF which in my case sent a false signal to the computer causing the trans to run too high of pressure all the time and shift funny.

Do: remember it is your car, time, and money, so do what YOU want to it

Don't: let haters opinions make your choices for you.

DO: Enjoy it while it's running great / learn all you can from those with bad experiences / become proactive rather than reactive in terms of maintenance.

DONT: Assume any brand of car is without flaws / cry about the cost of repair if you can't manage the repair yourself / expect anyone to show you respect if you've got facial piercings and a neck tattoo / wear your hat backwards or to the side if your over 16 years old

Do: Appreciate it for what it is, the last of the BMW DIY-friendly breed.
Don't: Expect it to last forever.
