I took delivery of an E90 330i last Thursday. My 8th BMW. I have no complaints of reliabilitywith any of these vehicles, save one and they replaced it immediately. Having said that, the E90 has a 4 yr. 50K warrentee that even covers brakes, and I have no intension of owning or leasing
ANY vehicle of this complexity unless it is under full warrentee!!
I'll also say this, as others have said previously, NO Japanesse car will withstand the punshment and abuse you can put a BMW through. These cars have been designed, engineered and build to be driven
HARD all the time without complaint.
NO Japanesse brand can claim that. My wife drives an Acura MDX which is a really great soccer mom suv, but it
AIN'T no BMW!
The Japanesse build truly wonderful, reliable cars, but if you're looking at BMWs then you are obviously looking for something more than a "wonderful, reliable car". You're looking for a
"Ride". And, my friend, there
IS no other ride comparable to a BMW!
