Treat them well, and they will treat you well. My "shitbox" vw has not been a shitbox. It depends on what people define as unreliable. Electronics are notoriously frustrating in german cars. The more options, the more I'd be nervous. I've only ever owned 3 cars, and they were all german, and I wouldn't call a single one of them unreliable. Stupid stuff seemed to break. Window switches, door handle strikers, automatically raising spoilers, but engine and drivetrain I never had any issues. I think a car as popular as the e46 is a safe bet. Used parts are plentiful and bmw engines are notorious for lasting when maintained.
