These figures might surprise you.

These stats are promptly updated four times a year, to closely track BMW 4-Series and BMW 2-Series lemon odds as the cars age. Others can be over a year behind. Only TrueDelta tells you how reliable the BMW 4-Series and BMW 2-Series have been recently.

To some, this is important. BMW, however good their cars might be, conjures up images of lawyers, trophy wives, and young hotshots who inherited their father's estate. I think I can make a fairly accurate assumption that most customers buy BMWs for reasons other than their unrivaled driving dynamics. I know some, who would never be caught driving a BMW due to that very reason. Doesn't bother me much, and the M badge also adds an air of seriousness to the vehicle. see full BMW 2-Series review
