From what i learned, most ppl here lease cars for 3 years and don't care if the car lasts 8 or 10 years. I for one, trust that BMW makes very solid engines that always collect engine awards of the year. Whoever has a problem with that should change brands. I can dig the flame war of diesel vs petrol (famous in Europe), but really can't get this nonsense, bmw vs bmw...
I guess self-confidence is a comodity these days
