Had a BMW 328is. Loved the car, but reliability was not its strong suite. I used to say "Everything to repair on this car is $500. Unless it's $1,000". And that was almost 20 years ago.

When it was running, it was incredible. But got rid of it, and in 2011 bought a used 2001 Z28 Camaro convertible. Yes, not a BMW. But other than basic maintenance, barely in the shop after over 20 years of existence. The LS1 engine and auto trans package is bulletproof. Less than a year ago had to replace the left side window motor. After more than 20 years.

And you never walk into an auto parts store and have the guy behind the counter say "We don't carry parts for Camaros". And those parts have always been cheap.
