First, try keeping track of the offerings from MB. Confusing to say the very least. According to MB the part/technology sharing is a one way street. MB technology finds it's way to Chrysler products but not the other way aroung....Hmmmm. This is obvious in the Crossfire, with it's less than intuitive MB controls.

BMW sure did F up starting with the new 7 series. They went from one of the most classic sedan design to a bloated ugly car! And they mocked MB with the original E class design...look in the mirror BMW. I have one friend who works in a BMW dealership and another at Audi. According to this person BMW is suffering big time with new car sales. The Audi sales person can't keep up.

BTW, the Mini Cooper made the Less than Average Reliability list as well, so add that to BMWs score.
