I was taking this thread more as a joke, apparently some took it as true sentiment

Now truthfully, the build quality will not degrade those that say well I had this BMW and it was fine, but my X5 sucked (sorry BBD)...they just haven't had enough experience. I've had the following in the last 7 years:

323, M3, X5, 545, 645, 350Z, 911, Mustang GT, Expedition, Accord, Maxima

Every single BMW had unacceptable problems BUT the X5. I've covered this before but here is a quickie:

M3 had all of its weatherstripping fall off, 5 and 6 both had their active steering and a ton of electronics go out. So "build quality", seems lacking on the German side as well

Now the Jap jobs, the only issue I ever had was an odd hum coming from the dash of the 350Z at 80+mph. The Mustang, differential had 'some' issue, Expedition door handles were recalled, but SIRIUS went out on us and had to be fixed.
