Its simply about the widely held perception that BMWs are not reliable and expensive to maintain. Quite often women don't share the same ego factor / brand alliance and prejudices that men hold in connection to their cars. More likely they are talking about it from practical experience of being stranded without their vehicle and exorbitant costs they were charged to get it fixed.
I would say that BMWs are normally reliable as new cars while in the warranty period. Its when you pick up a reasonably price second hand example that you can come into some expensive problems. Not everyone is knowledgeable about buying second hand cars and related servicing issues.
