I laughed at this because there's some truth to this but to the guys who mentioned their BMWs being reliable, they aren't wrong. If you are just daily driving the car like a normal person, one should not experience catastrophic repairs or failures. It's weirdos like us (some of us any way) like the cars enough and are willing to go the distance to break our backs to get our cars to 100%.
Case in point, my boss has an E92 since new and is still driving it and probably the most reliable car he's owned. No failures, no cooling system problems, no electrical issues aside from brake pads and related consumables. I think he has like 275K on the odometer. No cooling system failure is beyond me.
My old E91 wagon I got from my uncle was running okay but the dashboard was lit like a Christmas Tree and electronics works when it wanted to. In fairness, it was rear ended and repaired, but it was just a bad repair and you couldn't throw enough money to bring it back up to normal. He bought it back and used it as a delivery vehicle for his restaurant.
