Whassup with the V8 reliability??

[StanF18]

Holy smokes, I just logged on to my Consumer Reports online account, and started browsing the Auto section. The E70 V8 is right down in the cellar with the perpetual cellar-dweller Range Rover.

I was not expecting stellar ratings, since the E53 V8 also has not done well in the past. But it has never been that far down on the reliability scale. The E70 was really tanking...The 6-cyl. did OK, it was just a tick below average. And the new 3-series sedans were fairly high.

I really hope the relability ratings improve by the time I drive my E53 V8 into the ground and decide to switch to the E70 V8.
