An openion, not a fact Please look at the reliability records for BMW and Acura for years 1990 to 1997. It's available in the internet. Any search engines on automobile/car relaibility. Any conclusions on reliability should be based on statistics, not on single experiences.

You stated, "German cars have nothing to offer beyond excessive price, their quality is less Japanese cars or even US made cars."

Again, that is an opinion, not a fact. Regarding your old reliability data, I did not buy 1997 BMW's. I bought 2001's after referring to reliability data from Consumer Reports. While the Accura and a few other Japanese cars rated slightly higher, the reliability of the BMW's have been excellent. There were other factors that led to our purchase: 1) ride -- can't beat it; 2) handling -- can't beat it; 3) safety -- at the time our vehicles were the safest cars tested. A final factor is the overall quality of the vehicle. The BMW felt more solid than any other car we test drove, including the Mercedes and Volvo. BMW's are truly a joy to drive. Your statement that BMW's have nothing to offer beyond excessive price is ridiculous, at best.
