That's not to say it won't have issues. I'm sure it will. But even every Toyota these days seems to have some sort of recalls, or what not. They're no different than any other manufacturer, in that regard.

I have read from many sources the issues that relate to BMW's reliability are due to over-outsourcing. Of course that is the weak spot for any manufacturer, but since Toyota has literally written the book on automobile manufacturing, I trust their sourcing more than BMW.
Recalls are a result of a quality assurance system working. Companies that don't recall a known issue are either hiding issues or more worried about the bottom line *cough* Nissan *cough* CSC *cough* my NISMO engine...
