In Reply to: BMW reliability posted by Curious on April 01, 2001 at 21:43:52:

I have now owned two BMWs and have to agree (kinda). They have been in the shop much more often than the Hondas that I had owned before and I am a little worried about the repair costs once the warranties expire. But you have to consider your priorities. I bought them for the performance. I would have never had this much fun in an Accord and I can accept the somewhat less reliability.


I have been considering the purchasing a new 3 series coupe but have been hesitating due to the fact of reliability. I have spoke to many BMW owners in my area and they absolutely love their cars, but they also say they are in for repair more than they are on the road. I am not here to compare apples to oranges. I would just like some comments from other people. One of my BMW friends informed me of this forum, so I thought I would give it a try. In the past five years I have owned two high end japanese (Oh! I said it) sports coupes. Both of which never saw the dealership except for scheduled maintenance. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
