There is a lot to be said about the ownership experiences between British and German cars.
The word "Raw" as it pertains to most most British car manufactures is highly appropriate. But this attribute not only applies to the diving experience It also pertains to manufacturing and customer service aspects as well.
These idiosyncrasies of most British vehicles and its manufacuerers are well documented and are usually called "character" by those that love them and intolerable faults by those that cannot.
As for accident damage, that is why we acquire and maintain insurance.
The bottom line being, I believe most fulfilled M3W owners entered into ownership knowing the realtionship would be more engaging and hands on (in all aspects) than a typical motorcycle and certainly a particular German sports car like the Porsche.
