Regardless of source and methodology, BMW rates in the middle for need for repairs, need for dealer visits, quality control, etc. Some methods rely on self-reporting, others compile ASE records - there are many methods of aggregating the information.
It does not mean BMWs are bad cars, merely that the reputation for less than stellar reliability is accurate. We all know, for example, that Japanese cars as a group are more reliable. People here often comment "Reliable, but boring."
Amusingly, regardless of the brand and actual facts, every forum will claim its vehicle is the best and the reports are wrong.
And are personally affronted if anyone claims otherwise.
