And that 10-year warranty? Is not even worth the proverbial piece of paper is written on.
Last, show me a 10-15 year old Hyundai/Kia products that still looks half decent and hasn't fallen apart or is not already dismantled over blocks at the self service parts graveyard.
Around me I can show you a 2004-2005 E46 325ix that still looks not a day over 3-4 years old.
You get what you pay for plain and simple.

LOVE a good hot take, but this one is pretty misguided. What if I told you that Albert Bierman (former head of BMW M) and Peter Schreyer (Audi designer) are both chiefs in engineering and design (respectively) at Hyundai/Kia right now? And thats just two people that I can think of off the top of my head. They've poached a literal ton of lower level engineers and designers from the German big-3.
So HMG literally has many of the key people who developed the car you currently own. People who are now working on the cars you just dismissed as crap... A BMW badge doesn't magically make a car good, its the engineers and designers that do.
