Yeah, you pretty much nailed it.
I will be the first to say that many modern BMW's are not as reliable as other makes will be. I have a lot of posts and my X has been below average as far as reliability is concerned. However, I did my homework and realized what I was getting into before the purchase. I have also owned nothing but used BMW's since I was 16. It seems to me that many people who come to these boards bashing BMW have a very low post count and may not have done much research about their X before purchasing it. From what I have read, most want their cars to drive like a BMW, but have the reliability of a Lexus/Acura. As someone has already said, it is a trade off and that is not the case. BMW's are very expensive to own and maintain. They also have their quirks and are on the middle to low end of the reliability scale as a brand in general. Then again, that is something people should know before buying one, imo.
These threads bother me for the fact that statdoc pointed out earlier. What did the OP expect to get out of this post? Calling the cars we own and love crap? It is a direct insult to all of us. Why bother saying anything in the first place? If so, just say you had problems and move on, no need to insult the cars all of us drive, imo. BMW's aren't for everyone, so to the OP, buh bye.
