High quality engineering is a German trait in general.

This was true with most all equipment Germany designed and manufactured for the war. This was definitely one time where the quality over quantity mantra hurt them.

Indeed it is. And it's usually often not required, still the ridiculously expensive maintenance makes BMW half their profits - so there's method to the madness.

I can't argue with that, the Germans have always been excellent engineers.

For "The Ultimate Driving Experience," I don't mind paying a little extra. Sure, I've had to pay a premium on the odd part, but my experience overall has been great. Their automobiles are a joy to own (and even more fun to drive) and they enjoy a healthy resale value.
