You are absolutely correct. The German cars do not do well here in the brutal South Florida sun and heat. The heating and cooling systems have sealing foam that deteriorates into black goo, then blows out on to clean clothes. It's then impossible to clean out the goo.
Same goes for the plastic parts on the dash and the doors. They turn into goo in 3 years time around here. YUK.
