I understand every new car has its issues but don't you guys agree that it seems like this model has a little more than usual? The E90/92 had is fair share of issues but it was mostly isolated to the HPFP. Now since that car has been around there more stuff breaking down which is expected but I really don't recall this many people with major mechanical/electrical issues within weeks/months from delivery on that platform.

I also had an E46 before my E90 and its had its issues but nothing major at all.

I've always heard the X5 reliability rating wasn't that great either.

The X3 fits the bill in terms of what i need from my next car and I really do hope bmw gets these kinks worked out soon.
