Other than a few (and I mean 3-4) instances per year on summer days when the revs drop, I have had no issues. Never stalled. And my car is a March '03 build with 38.5K miles.
I'm still on my original alignment, no true rattles to speak of, and overall a VERY reliable car. Only issue was the ignition coils (which now have a recall), and my alcantara wheel that wore too quickly and got replaced.
It doesn't like to sit for a few days when temperatures drop. My shocks *feel* fine despite horrendous roads, low-profile tires, and 38.5K miles.
EDIT: It goes without saying that some stuff still isn't cheap. Like $1K for a set of tires and BMW prices when things need replacing, synthetic oil, etc. But nothing bad. It's just not a corolla, you know?
