I was thinking maybe I should check on bimmerforums or whatever the biggest community is for them. The few friends I've had with 2009-present BMWs had no problems but they were all new and under warranty.

I looked at Mazdas and all the others. If it has to be Japanese, it will be a Prius. It's that or go German. I like VWs ok but they have big QC issues and why drive a used VW when I can drive a used 5-series for about the same. Big difference is cars.

I need to get more data. Thanks to all, especially the BMW owners.
