I've had 2 BMW's. The first one was a 1997 E39 523i, and the second one is an 2004 E60 530i, and I enjoy driving it. But guess what? Both of my cars have had constant sick repair costs, whereas a 1998 Mercedes-Benz E320 belonging to one of my friends requires no costs at all and is rock solid. That's why I say that BMW isn't in the same league with Mercedes-Benz as far as quality matters, because I'm sure that the "highest quality" BMW is far inferior to the lowest quality Merc (if you can find one, of course). And that's my opinion.

Wow, that's some extensive research, especially with the huge sample group of no less than three cars you've managed to include. Now you've convinced us all I suggest you go back to your Panamera vs M5 thread and enlighten us some more with your thoughtful and intelligent remarks.

Again, feel free to return to the Panamera discussion. Or leave. Or set up a vastly expanded reliability survey with four cars...

My 1998 540i Touring was awesome - never had to do anything besides standard fluid changes, except for a radiator hose that got old and cracked. i owned that car between 90k and 180k miles. therefore... ALL E39's ARE ROCK SOLID AND YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID!
on the other hand, my 93 VW Passat (god rest her soul) had lights go out, fuel gauge quit working, exhaust rusted through, brake lines failed, etc. therefore, VW AND BY EXTENSION AUDI ARE TERRIBLE AND HAVE POOR QUALITY

Here's the evidence to make you accept the bitter truth for you:
http://news.drive.com.au/drive/motor...216-1tacf.html
BMW's quality is far lower than even the industry average. Look where Mercedes-Benz is and get silent. Even Audi has better quality than BMW. My opinion is supported by clear facts unlike your subjective viewpoints.

lol. wow, that WAS bitter. even more bitter for me was trying to make myself believe that a survey constitutes a fact. here's another survey that claims the BMW 3-series is the most reliable car made: http://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/2008...-survey/29231/
anyways, you can complain all you want to about the car you (claim to) own. i am happy with my BMW, and most people here are happy with theirs. you seem hell bent on trying to get people to be unhappy with theirs, and it just makes you look like a troll. so..... go away or try to post something without an obvious agenda
