(though they dare to try new technology, but the reliability issue normally arise out of "standard" or low technology parts which should not be the excuse)Some die-hard fans of BMW would argue that every car marque would got their problems. that is true but the defect rate is what we are talking about. some would say 3-5% is acceptable. i think for the Japanese marque is less than 0.5%. that is easily a whopping 10 times less reliable than its Japanese counterparts. BSRI or warranty is one part. the time needed to send the car in and out of the workshop is taxing even for the self employed, not to mentioned those need to report to work daily.I love my BMW but just got very much annoyed by news of constant problems, and the worry of when would be the day i got stranded in highway under the hot sun or rainny day or something. (worse if with important guest in the car)I have been trying very hard to maintain my BMWs in the best way i could. (more or less like maintaining a relationship, he he). hope that my "hardwork" pay off well.There should not be reason or need to sacrifice reliability for performance. they should go hand in hand! just my comment as a BMW supporter, no offend to anybody</blockquote>
