No, no it's not. One of the first things you learn in statistics is that you need a sufficiently large, random sample in order to be able to make conclusions based on data. A few anecdotes is neither a sufficiently large sample, nor is it a random one. Second, you do realize cars have to go to mechanics on a regular basis, right? There's this wonderful thing called servicing one's car. It's where you have the oil and any other necessary fluids changed, you get the items that wear (e.g. tires, brake pads, etc.) inspected, and a host of other things looked over. Of course, most of these things can be done yourself, but most people don't know how. As a result, cars are taken to mechanics regularly, a process that's better known as maintenance. Magic, I know. Your mechanic seeing lots of Z3s or Z4s doesn't mean anything. |
I thought you were bright enough to understand that I meant he was seeing a bunch of Zs on top of regular maintenance, I guess I was wrong. So exactly how many people saying their Zs break down foten will it take you to realize BMWs are not the same anymore?
