Electrical yes, along with some motor and design issues. Mine, and most others, shred axle boots on a regular basis, and the rear wheels wear unevenly, which can't be corrected. I also had a leak in the intake which caused the car to start drinking coolant, along with various electrical issues.

It just left me with a bad feeling for the whole brand. I understand it shares little with the M3, which do seem to last a while and withstand abuse.
