My last BMW was a 1999 E46 328i. It was ordered in the fall of 98 so it was an early production run of a first year new model. Typically expect more problems with first year production.

I drove that thing hard to 175k miles without much problem. Just typical maintenance issues. Oil changed every 15k to 18k miles per the OBC. We only got rid of it at 175k because we were having a baby and the 328i couldn't fit the baby stroller in the small trunk.

I'm hoping the new 2016 X3 we're about to pickup this evening will provide us with just as good reliability.

All of our cars over the last 20 years have been german cars and all have been very reliable.
