This is why I'll never buy a German car.

I buy cars for the long term.

They can be annoying.

Things like proprietary $250 batteries are annoying.

Thing is, usually by the time warranty runs out, you can take the car someplace else and they will take good care of you. Both my 540s ran well past 250k with only minor issues ( and most of it was just inconvenient, not a real problem)

If you have a non-warranty issue during the warranty period, you pay through the nose on it. If you have any issue after warranty, you pay through the nose for it.

I'm not saying cheaper car companies are any more or less reliable, but when your cheap azz Fiord breaks down, it's a more survivable hit to the wallet.

Depends what it is I guess. I've found BMW to define their warranty very broadly. Best company I've dealt with on that front, but like all things, everyone experiences things differently.
