yeah your shop rates seem about 65% of California. Kumhos are a great bargain tire. I'd use them. I don't think mileage on them will be all that high but all the user reviews seem pretty positive.

The last time I heard of a BMW manual transmission failing was about 2 months ago when the transmission in my 2006 325i failed after only 14k miles (2yrs).
I am hoping you are correct about the long term maintenance costs though, because I just love the car and plan to keep it long enough to fight my kids for a ride.

Well you know every car made, including Rolls, Ferrari, etc., is going to have that fractional percentage of assembly errors at the factory, or machining problems, etc. This is the roulette wheel of mass production...but generally the odds are pretty good on this not happening. I'd be more worried about incompetent repairs, oil changes, etc as the car ages.
