Speed doesn't equate reliability. sometimes the most robust products are conceptually simpler
Toyota reliability is amazing. every single one my family or friends have owned has gone 100k, 200k+ without any issues
our bmw's on the other hand... 40 out of ordinary maint visits 745li, 10 dealer visits e38 740iL, several on the X5, a couple on the M3's... the simpler 6mt M3's have been the most reliable
