x amount of dollars is a function of y points of failure.

Spend more money, get more features, get things that could possibly fail.

you drive an e30... we all know its not working just fine. Raise your hand if SOMETHING isn't going wrong right now

there are things that aren't perfect, but fuck - it has over 200,000 miles. what more could you expect? it still starts and gets me to work every day, and basically everything works (locks, lights, windows, sunroof, etc.)

There's nothing wrong with my car. I have one cluster bulb out but that's it.

:shamelssly can't raise hand:

Cars suck in general. Buy a bicycle.

BMW does have a few issues. The climate control servos have a habit of going out, the interior materials aren't great (Although all models got material and slight design overhauls in the last few years, and they are much better now) and the aforementioned recommended sevice intervals cause their fair share of problems. And, of course, there is iDrive...

I don't understand.... The bottom of the list is not made up of high performance or luxury cars, except for maybe Land Rover. The top of the list includes Porsche, Infiniti, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz...

Its mostly about bitching. Who bitches about their car more. Someone getting their first new car isnt expecting the world. They paid 10k and they expect a 10k car.

Pay 5 times that and you expect 5x the car. That means you wont deal with satnav glitches or a creak on a convertible top.

Luxury, high performance cars do break down more. Look at the cars at the bottom of the list.

Luxury, high performance cars do break down more when you fail to follow the prescribed maintenance schedule. Look at the cars at the bottom of the list.

I mean you can buy a Citizen watch, keep it for a decade and never expect to have to clean it, etc.

Try that with a high end Swiss watch.

Same principle.
