So are you comparing the sales of the E70 to the E53??

I have yet to own a BMW that didn't have some queer issue, my E46 weatherstripping fell of, my other E46 heated seats burned through, my X5 burned seat and the trans crapped out one day along with a window regulator, my E60 had to have the whole CD replaced along with the sunroof mounts. See I would never trade the driving fun and looks of my BMW's along the way. However, some buyers pick them up only for the Roundel emblem or because they simply have a ton of money and those are usually the ones who complain about BMW 'reliability' IMO, either because it is a 'hassle' or because they can't afford the repair.
