BMW builds for the person that buys, or leases one from them, new, and they give a good, four year warranty. Future owners are on their own as various complex expensive peripheral components start reaching their mediocre design life. I do not know of any study that surveys long term reliability past, say 50,000 miles. No German car has components that outlast even the most mundane gasket on a Toyota. Perhaps that's why BMW and the others are by far the most profitable car companies. And that's why there are so many profitable garages in every city that specialize only in BMW repair. That may also be why their resale value is not very good, but which enables most of us to experience one.
