Except BMW is ranked third behind Lexus and Toyota in reliability charts, and Toyota is running the B58 in their supra which tells you how good the engine is.

You're also choosing FWD bias drivetrains over RWD bias as well.

Also, driving all three isn't the same as owning, so again, you judging cars when you don't even own any of them (even long term) isn't realistic. I've driven BMW's for a decade and sold my 335i with 185k miles to upgrade, zero reliability issues, zero issues with "sensation" with the ZF8 on track or daily.

Meanwhile, I have two friends who own VNs and both have issues all day long, and once it was solved, they have the recall lmao. One of them is running meth+tune and they still can't beat a stock M340i lol.
