You make a good point and by 2016 the reliability was very good across the board. However, having owned BMW’s since the 90’s, to me, 2012 was the turning point and it’s important to point out that I purposely avoided 6 and 7 series cars because their reliability hadn’t caught up to the lower-end’s reliability improvement. I had a 2012 F10 535 that was perfect on the reliability front. I also had a 2013 E92 M3 coupe that was also bulletproof. Prior to those two cars, I had numerous issues with my BMW’s. However, I do recall hearing people complain that the higher-end BMW’s were still problematic at times until later in that decade.
