*Regular maintenance on BMWs includes a lot of parts on other cars that don't fail: OPG, OFHG, valve cover/VCG, Mickey Mouse flange, coolant bypass line, radiator, windshield cowl, window regulators.
Variable Cam timing and chains, fuel pumps, water pump. I guess these do fail on other cars, but BMW it is frequent and early. Batteries don’t seem to last well beyond 4 yrs either especially if the car is loaded with all the options
