I dunno about that. The worst case I saw on the message boards was a diesel engine that knocked a hole in the engine bock when a rod end cap apparently came loose. And that engine came from Europe (Austria, I believe).

And the automatic transmissions are a known problem area for BMWs, and they mostly come from Germany.
