This is also my experience. I have had several 3-series BMW and either they have been flawless (an e46, an e91 and my current f30) or have caused enourmous grief and frequent trips to the dealer (an e46 which spent 4 months at the dealer over the course of four years ownership and a e93 with numerous engine problems). The 2005 X5 which my wife drives has been in the family for 8 years now and has been very reliable. I am amazed how tight it still feels for a 10 year old car with >100k miles.
