100%

It is true of all German cars.

>>16950320
Lol. Driving them is fun but once it blows up it is annoying as hell.

>>16950320
I love driving BMWs, but I sure hate owning them.

I really don't get this meme. Every BMW I've ever owned has been dead reliable, and well assembled. Far more so than any other brand I've owned. Hell, the fucking UK police drive them.

Yeah, the dealer rapes you, so don't go there.

Bought a 97 BMW E36 328i with 90k miles on it, now has well over 300k and the only major repair was the engine fan and radiator which died around 150k. The BMW reliability is a meme perpetrated by fags who don't take car of them and/or beat the shit out of them, same goes for Subaru.

>buying a beemer

Pretty much spot on. Except when I tell my friend "I told you so" he's still adamant that it's precision german engineering

This.
I've had a BMW for 7 years, it was neglected before I got it, It's at 200k now and hasn't given me any serious troubles I wouldn't expect from any car.
I've always driven the car hard, but never abused it.
Amazing reliability if you ask me, especially compared to other cars I've owned.

People who call entire brands unreliable don't have any mechanical sympathy.
If you understand why the part broke, and it's not the manufacturers fault, you'll never think a car is unreliable.
If you've got a car past 150k miles you shouldn't be mad if anything breaks, you should be glad it served you well in its service life.

>>16951330
Eh, to each their own. I love beemers, but I wouldn't ever buy one. Lease one, sure, but never anything long term. They have electrical problems on top for normal breaks after a while.

Also, it may just be me, but 150k miles seems rather low to me. Any decent car should run up to 200k with very little breaking.

>read that as BBW at first glance

I have a problem

Then you shouldn't buy any car made since 2005.
I've never experienced, or heard of this electrical demon you're talking about in bimmers.
English and Italian cars are notorious for their electrical issues. Even Porsche was up until the 90's.
But I've had an e21, e30, e36,e38, e39, and an e46 and the only electrical issue I've had was the e36 ecu going bad, and I think it was because I welded on the car with it plugged in and the battery connected. But I also used the car as dedicated dirty rally car, so it didn't have an easy low vibration life.
And that was at ~190k miles.

it's called bait. not sure if you've heard this concept

people make threads and say things they don't actually believe or care about. why? because it gets replies. and replies = good feels. go see /v/ if you want to see what this board will look like in a year or two

>>16950351
Can confirm. Have an audi S4. I have more grey hairs after every drive.

What in the literal fuck is that hell hole? Yeah, I'm a newfag, only been here four years, /k/, then /b/, and /o/, but jesus christ. This place is literally as cancerous as the leddit I ran from.

Fuck this. Fuck the internet. Fuck all of you. I'm going out in the real world. Fucking disgusting.

VAG has nice, clean build quality, but their layouts are such a pain in the ass that everything is burned into your mind as the worst experience you've ever had.
Also their plastics are absolute trash so any vag over 15 is essentially one giant brittle shard waiting to fracture.
