My question is, is this reputation still deserved, or has BMW made strides in putting that notion to rest?
CR rates them number three overall, that's pretty positive: https://www.forbes.com/wheels/news/c...-car-rankings/ Make sure it has a good three year warranty and you'll be fine. Dealer is stupid-expensive, but independent mechanics are probably the same as those that specialize on Japanese cars. Get one and enjoy it!
