[QUOTE="KL2DC, post: 206860, member: 3452"] Sampling is still vastly skewed. The rate of N52 owners with high oil consumption is significantly lower here in the US given a larger active forums population. No european cars can match the Camcords running around out there. Its an apple and oranges comparison and somewhat faulty logic. A $400k Lamborghini is not expected to be 20x more reliable than a $20k Camry. Let's not compare Mercedes-Benz's reliability records to BMW; in a 2006 Consumer Reports report on MY2007 cars, MB took the 'honors' for having 3 of 6 worst quality luxury car, 3 of 7 worst quality sports car and the single least reliable SUV as well as the 4th worst quality SUV :eek: Granted BMW wasn't exactly at the opposite end of the range, but they fared better than MB across the board. Here are the latest ratings/rankings: [URL]http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/pricing/best-worst-in-car-reliability-1005/most-least-reliable-new-cars/0704_most-least-reliable-new-cars.htm[/URL] [/QUOTE]
