I have had excellent experience with BMW reliability. In addition to my '09 128i I also have an E30 318is that was purchased new in 1991. It is now 18 years old and has about 130,000 miles on it. Other than regular maintenance very little money has been put into it and it still looks and drives like new. My dad has an E46 325ci that he uses as a daily driver and he has not had any problems with it either. My family buys BMWs new and keeps them for the long run. We've never had any major problems with any of them.
