Wow, kind of surprised about the BMW comments.

I've had several BMWs (2002 X5, 2003 X5, 2001 E46, 2003 E46, and my son has a E36 M3 which I still pay for all of the repairs) and they were all equal to Porsche in terms of reliability. They run great, drive excellent, and were very reliable. Definitely not cheap to repair (a lot like a Porsche!). Maybe the newer BMWs aren't as reliable as some of the older models that I owned.

One of my future cars will be an E46 M3.
