My BMW, a 128i, is not only the fastest naturally aspirated 6-cylinder BMW ever built, but it is also the most reliable BMW motor ever built. It is used in the 1-series, 3-series and 5-series, which is to say, it is the most numerous BMW motor. The upshot is BMW doesn’t want a lot of warrantee repairs on its most numerous motors, so it makes sure they are reliable. My particular copy was special ordered with only 3 options, leather, metallic paint and 18” wheels, and the iDrive is deleted. It has the 6-speed. I’ve driven her from 11K to about 62K miles now, and she has been almost completely trouble-free! A couple of expected issues, the coils and the oil-filler housing gasket, and that’s it besides routine maintenance… I am very happy with my little bimmer.

The only one of these with which I am familiar is the BMW X1. It did not take me more than 120 miles to know that it was not a satisfactory vehicle. In fact, it used more fuel than the daily driver at the time, a 400,000 mile Volvo 240DL wagon. The only reason I rented it was that I needed air conditioning to take my mother to a medical appointment.

I bought a newly launched Mercedes A180 at the end of 1998 (UK), sold the car in less than 4 years of ownership due to problems. Just after 3 years , fuel injector failed, rear axel cracked , rear coil spring cracked. The car carried me only most of the time ( 99% ) and I am not heavy ☺. Town driving only. My present car is a Toyota which I bought new April 2009 , the only major parts replaced are Driver's side wiper motor and water pump. At present condenser of the Air Con needs replacing. I will replaced it in Summer. I vowed never to buy a Mercedes car after owning the A Class Mercedes.

The only thing wrong with your review is the fact that you state JD Powers car reviews are credible. JD Powers gets paid to say a specific vehicle is reliable whether it is or is not. Many years ago they did the same thing saying the Dodge charger was the most reliable vehicle which is certainly untrue as it always has been Lexus and Toyota.

X3 BMW I bought mine off my own Lease it's a great reliable vehicle. We Still love the way it drives. The tires bother me they don't seem to last and they are run flat tires no spare in truck.

The latest generation X3s have come a long way in terms of reliability. The maintenance costs are high, but they are for just about all luxury vehicles these days. If someone is selling / trading a car after a year, it means they are either scared or bored and ready to move on.

I just thought I should mention that that Nissan you just showed was a Nissan kicks

wow listening to you its shaky ground when picking your next vehicle , but back here in the UK for buying a discounted 1 owner 1 year old from a legitimate franchised dealership is peeps/company or private that have either reversed the mileage or put a mileage blocker on it till the vehicles first official service , so example is some vehicles have 12000 miles or 12 months or 24,000 or 2 years . The digital readout could be showing 2,500 miles say after a year but it could have seen 20,000 miles of driving. NIGHTMARE . certain companies supplying the blockers actually quote that it doesnt record the TRUE mileage and cant be traced by the ecu part.

In the first year these are alll under warranty and (often) maintenance plans. There is zero additional cost, so I am skeptical of how much long term maintenance costs affect a decision to dump a car in year one!! These are all entry lux models; my guess is people think they can swing that $599 a month lease and in a few months realize a $300 a month car meets their needs just fine.

Stunned. I was in agreement with the list all the way until #1. I have leased a new (service loaner) C300 every 3 years for the past 10+ years. I LOVE them and have never had a major issue with any of mine. Yes, service would be expensive were it not for the warranty, but the same can be said for all luxury brands. My dealer keeps trying to get me to move to an E class, but I love the size and handling on the C, so I don't want to make that jump and keep going with the C class. I've had far fewer problems with any of my MB's as opposed to the BMW's I've had in the past - which seemed to be in the shop every other month. Anecdotal, but that has been my experience.

The car has never had a problem. For maintenance, he uses an independent Mercedes repair guy. A man and his son. They come to your house or work to do most routine maintenance. They charge about 55% of what a dealer charges. Mercedes (and Porsche) interiors are like no other car. Ancedotal, yes. But when it's you, who cares? LOL

Most of high end European cars, namely Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Jaguar and others are well known for their elegant, stylish looking and expensive. But their low quality and maintenance cost are just ridiculous. Only good for rich businessmen as they give them the ‘status’.

That’s fine

I have an acquaintance who owns a range Rover and he's had nothing but problems it stays in the shop just recently his back window went all the way down for no reason so stupid but he thinks it's a status symbol but it shows ignorance

Just bought an A5 2021 coupe, 40 tfsi, with 25k miles on it, it was not on sale, but was checking out the audi semi-new and this car was just released from annual maintenace, and my sales agent and me managed to convence the owner (a mid 50’s man) to sell it to me. It has another 2 year warranty, a couple of free services left, a very well taken care of. In your opinion, was a good buy? Any tips

Awesome as always. Reliability issues are from every auto maker. Entry level models are ones to stay away from. Most people who want the luxury brands but cannot afford more premium models end up in entry level styles. I have a Mercedes S560 and it has been amazing. Keep up the great videos and I hope people looking to get into the Luxury car market watch your videos first. Great day to you.

Jaguars are owned by Tata motors and Indian company infamous for making the cheapest car in the world with a 2 cylinder motorcycle engine that catches on fire

And there it is. Range Rover. Not built to drive in cities. They are heavy cars so it’s rough on the brakes. Brake jobs are about $4k and with this puppy, you need about 2X a year. Sad. Great car but it needs the right driving conditions. Open road and off road. Not city.

If you are spending new Range Rover money it should be engineered to provide good service whether it's driven in the city the suburbs the country or off-road. Many other vehicles are capable of doing that at a fraction of the price.

100% True

Although the model of BMW is not displayed, the white BMW shown at 10'16" is clearly badged as "BMW", not de-badged as stated.

Let’s get real , despite reliability issues in most of European vehicles is not a secret that repairs and maintenance are very expensive in those cars , however usually people who buy a Range Rover (for example) won’t touch the car with 10 feet pole, only gas( probably 87) and let’s go ! Besides oil change prices on those beautiful machines NOBODY is going to use the best oil for your car unless you buy it yourself and you see with your own eyes how the mechanic is putting into your car engine, so dealers and shop operators use a low quality oil or at least cheaper than the one you would buy for your car, increasing the possibility of more engine problems like those you mentioned.

Are you saying B48 engine is still problematic or just implying BMW does some buybacks that affect return rate?

@ECPP

6 ай бұрын

No engine is perfect, especially in BmW world, however, the B48 is quite good, and much of the stats come from buybacks, dealer demos, and generally the nature of many buyers of these types of cars.

They are very good engines now. It’s their bread and butter engine. B58 6 cylinder is the one you want if you want more power and reliability. Toyota made sure BMW made the B48/58 perfect, as they put their badge on the Supra with both engines.

Nice Review ! Yeah, A Lotta These Dealers Are Offering That "Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse" Incentives But, Then, The "Fool Me Twice Shame On Me", Comes In To Play.

Maybe you should've bought a Kia rather than that Mercedes. I've had three bought brand-new since 2012 and never had a notable problem. Minor stuff few and far between. Fuel pump went bad in the first a 2012 Turbocharged AWD Sportage, under warranty. Nothing else for the life of the car and traded it in 2016 for an identical new one. Second was a 2013 Rio. Had it for 90,000 miles without even a license plate light burning out. Sold it to my boss and his kid totaled it. Third is a 2016 Turbocharged AWD Sportage. Knock sensor went bad at 95,000 miles and was replaced. Nothing else so far. All that compared to a 2011 Toyota Camry that we bought brand new in that year. Damned thing was leaking oil on our driveway because the robot that sealed the oil pan was out of calibration. Took it straight to Kia and traded it in. Bottom line is that any car these days can be troublesome. Depends on what robot was having issues that day.

I've sadly owned several marques (M-B, BMW, Jaguar, Mini) on your list. All were $$$ pits. I've sold all except Nissan, which were garbage soon after CEO Goshn arrived. I would Audi to that list. When you bring these bolt buckets in for trade, l was the guy who came over to tell customers how worthless their prized car is and Why. It's usually a deal killer, unless that's the 3rd stop.😂

Haha, yes many of these are brutal money pits. Shiny paint when new but 4 years in, ouch

Just had a oil change on my new BMW 230i at 1500 miles at the dealer. Wanted it bc it was a new break in engine so warranty didn’t cover it. It was a hundred and five dollars.
