We have a 545i and a Subaru Outback. The Subaru had its share of small, but very annoying issues.
And driving the Subaru is vaery painful if you get out of the BMW...

If your looking for perfection you may be disappointed.
But if your looking for the best driving sport sedan the 545 will surely please.

I've just seen the list, and it seems to me, if you want a nice car, then it's proabably in the unreliable list:

Volkswagen Golf (turbo)
Mercedes-Benz CLK
Mazda RX-8
Mercedes-Benz S-Class
BMW 7 Series
Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Mercedes-Benz C-Class (V6)
BMW 5 Series
Volkswagen Touareg
Porsche Cayenne
Mercedes-Benz M-Class

I'd probably take a chance on any of those cars.

Yeah, i hate people who do not own an E60 jumping on the bandwagon about how ugly or unreliable the car is.

Some people just say stuff, for the sake of saying something. (Thinking out loud or verbal diarrhea)

It seems to me that they just made a list of European cars and placed it at the least reliable spot.

I find it hard to believe that an European car can't make it to the list of most reliable sedans.

Perhaps if someone in Europe had made a list of least reliable sedans there would only show up Asian or American cars.

Well, just a thought...
