For the average consumer, it makes no sense that these cars are so delicate.

For the enthusiast, they do research and figure out what to do and the associated costs. It's a completely different market and customer base - these are not the bread and butter for BMW.

I would say that BMW doesn't make good engines that the majority of people would like. The German reputation for making cars that fall apart is so pervasive that many people refuse to buy German cars because they have a reputation for being unreliable.
