Funny you say that. My E46 M3 and F31 have had significantly more issues than the Mk4 24v VR6 Jetta that I bought new. Mechanical as well as QOL.
I love everything about my F31 other than the reliability issues I've had with it so far. Horns failed, rear gate and center console have squeaks that can not be fixed and the main nav screen & control modules failed. In 9 mos I have the option to return the lease or buy it out. Despite loving what the car delivers, I fear the long term running costs.
Up until ~5 years ago I've generally had Japanese daily drivers and literally loaded 100s of thousands of miles on them with no issues. (TL, FX, 4Runner) The IS-F is looking really good right now.
