I just sold a 2004 325I sedan that was bought new, driven easy and regularly serviced.
It became a lawn ornament. I refused to take it on road trips because of it's history of problems.
Went to Florida in the Spring and Michigan in September. I drove my 12 year old Mazda Millenia instead of the BMW both times because it's been totally trustworthy since new.
The BMW was replaced with an Acura.
BMW=hype
Acura=quality
Beemers and Acuras? Aw hell, there goes my image of you rocking and rolling down a dusty road in some Kentucky backwater in a beat up pickup, mason jar in one hand and sumptin' else in t'other, Waylon what's his face blaring some Godawful noise out the busted window ...
Damn it.
