Then look at the US, everyone likes to bash the german cars reliability. And surprisingly at the same time you always hear people talk about that mythical "german engineering" unicorn, whatever the heck that means.

So to all forum members, say what country you're from and what's BMW's reputation for reliability in your country? Just curious!
In Turkey it is exactly as you described. People pay 6.000 USD for the unreliable DSG option just because VW is German.
