You would think after all this time the Big three would be able to have more than 2-3 cars in the highest predicted ranking. I believe its the reason why they still have a bad rep. Too many of their cars are not that reliable, allowing people to continue complaining.

This from a BMW owner? The Euro's have the most unreliable cars on earth.

WTF. Are you suggesting I am lying about my experience with my Beamer vs the Reatta? Now you sound like Inode......although I admit the article is confusing. Of the 45 unreliable cars, the BMW 3 series was not one of them. And of that 45 unreliable cars, the article says that 19 or less than half of the 45 models that were rated were European. However, 4 of those 19 are the Saab, Jaguar [which now is owned by Tata], Volvo and Hummer......all four are/were owned by American companies when this report was done. If you take them out, there are only 15 true Euro cars that are unreliable vs 25 American cars and 5 Asian. While BMW 3 series may not be one of the most reliable, it looks like its better than the unreliable ones:

Why do you own one of the most expensive, expensive to repair, and most unreliable cars made?

In spite of what the articles says, its the best car I have ever owned and not expensive at all to maintain. Maybe BMW has gone downhill since 1999 when I bought mine.
