Does anybody have any actual data on reliability? And don’t show me some JD Power and Associates award. Looking for solid evidence like higher recalls or something.

I mean, I would expect more maintenance with a luxury brand like BMW, and I would expect more things to break because there are more things, and those things are more complex. I would expect BMWs to be leased more often than owned, and I would expect worse care from leasees than from owners, so I would expect higher failure rates from poor maintenance. I have also heard BMWs are aggressively tuned, so I can imagine more issues than other “reliable” brands.
