I think that it's more than possible of course to buy a very reliable German car. However, stats show (CR, etc) that you're more likely to end up with trouble than with some other makes. So, it depends on how risk adverse you are.
Right, but the debate was between the M235i and a Mustang, not the overall reliability of German cars in general versus "some other makes."
I don't believe an M235i without an excess of new tech-geek options will be any less reliable than a new Mustang. I doubt either one of them would be reliable nightmares, but I also don't believe either one of them will be Corolla-reliable either.
