3 percent gets a black mark? If you have ever done research you know the larger the sampling the truer the finding. If they tested 100 cars and 3 had problems it would get a bad mark? And what is the extent etc. I know lots of bimmer drivers, maybe not x3's who have over 200k on their cars and never had problems. Turbos always tend to have a bit more trouble than a normal aspirated engine but I am not believing they are dramatically prone to trouble. that technology has existed for a long time. And I think BMW makes pretty durable flawless engines. the 8 spd trans bothers me a bit as its new technology but if you look at another survey they did all the german cars rate low, bmw, mb and audi. the japanese cars ruled as far as durability. I find that amazingly hard to believe, having owned toyotas and hondas etc. and ya know every car needs some repair sometimes.
