Salloum wroteThis profiling of BMW owners isn't exactly true because like I said a BMW owner will take great care of his car because he really cares for it.
Those people are not the ones selling used BMWs.
Salloum wroteThe reason for 10+ years BMW cars being unreliable is just because BMW is not a reliable brand anymore. The running costs of a BMW are very high nowadays. But they still have the best driving experience on earth, so it's hard to change.
You're right, most modern cars aren't designed to last as long as they were designed in the past. No one is arguing that BMW's driving experience is exceptional, what I'm saying is that unless you're buying a new BMW or one you know it's true history, I would avoid it.
Also, when taking your car to a shop to check it before buying it, make sure you go to a reputable shop that provides receipts and everything because those people are also known to take cash from sellers to tell you the car is awesome while it's in fact shit. Sometimes, even your relatives would sell you out for a few bucks.
