I didn’t expect the 318ti to be a luxury car. I did expect it to be somewhat comparable to the Honda when it came to maintenance and reliability, however. I just can’t get over how unreliable the BMW has been.
You don’t state unreliable as in you were left stranded,just some repairs. Get e-46 and you will see why it is used as the benchmark that all others in its size class is compared to. Its a whole new world when you leave the 4cyl e-36 behind.
