If you're going to go by forum complaints as an indicator on the actual metric to measure built quality, you would think the E9x platform is built from rusted aluminum foil (yes I know aluminum doesn't rust) and patched together with dirt.

Forums, by it's very nature, is a place where the whiney b*tches get heard far more than the satisfied owners. And by it's very nature, NEWER platforms gets more of the whiney b*tches because it's NEW. When the E9X first came out, compared to the E46, the noise to signal ratio was so much higher that at one point I declared that the E9X owners are the least informed and whiniest bunch of automotive enthusiasts in the automotive world. It probably still stands true, but compared to FXX owners. Oh. My. Gawd.

Your statement has as much scientific truth to it as the Catholic Church's view of the solar system during Copernicus's time.

Well said.
