They really are that bad? As I said earlier, it's sad that such an expensive and supposedly well engineered car/brand can have so many maintenance issues. I figured how the cars are built these days that 50k miles is nothing. Apparently reliability is a bigger issue than I thought. I don't like it 10g in repairs worth, I can assure you that.

They aren't, honestly. People that have a bias against BMW (which is pretty much everyone that doesn't own one) plays it up like they break constantly. They don't.

BUT! If they do, it can be pricey, which is why it's a good idea to put more in the repair fund than you would if you had a Camry.
