BMW Reliability

I've had my CPO '13 535 for 18mos and 12K miles. No issues to report.

I bought my '12 528x as a CPO back in early '13. It had 24K miles on it, and I got the extended warranty 100K because I drive a decent amount and I was also a first time BMW owner.

Im at 107K now and if I hadn't dished out the addition $2K (roughly), I would be down a good $15K. Since exceeding the warranty, Ive had to put $2K into it (rebuilt transfer case) and plan to proactively do my expensive water pump. Reliability ? Its not fair to base it on one car. The problem is it was my car. After owning SAAB's for neary 30 years, this one car was far worse than all those combined. Go figure

Im no fan of leasing because of the miles I put on. Im no fan of the massive depreciation in the early years of owning a BMW, which is why I tend to keep my cars at least 5-6 years. Im not sure how long I will keep this one. It depends what happens next.
