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.

The antithesis of objective reality.
We are unreliable witnesses and tend to magnify both positive and negative attributes in any situation. Additionally, we tend to treat the exception as the rule. When peeled back with skillful questioning, along with properly collected and interpreted data, perceptions can usually be debunked.
