Which car is more glitch-free E60 or E90?

From reading E90post.com and this forum, it seems E90 is more glitch-free. Anyone have any experience with both cars? I'm considering both cars.

2 data points here: Our neighbors have a 325i (bought ~ March 2007) and had no problems with it at all. My April delivered 530i has no problems at all.

I think that's hard to say. The E60 has more options or features that are more likely to fail. More features = more possible issues. The E60 is futher along it's life cycle so you'll have more known issues resolved. The E90 is one year 'younger' than the E60. In most cases they both share the same engine and to some extent the same transmission.

This is an E60 forum. So, the E60 is more glitch free.

And, are we all using the same notion of a "glitch?"

From the Cambridge online Dictionary:

glitch
noun
1. a small problem or fault that prevents something from being successful or working as well as it should:
