My father has had his 1998 4Runner since new and it currently has 330,000 on the clock. Motor runs like new and all that has been replaced is the clutch once and the starter twice in 15 years. The brake pads were changed at 10yrs due to age, not wear. I had my 135i for 3yrs and it had a catastrophic failure at 6k (HPFP), carbon buildup at 18k (in perpetuity), one turbo stopped working due to a pinched wire that caused the fan to stop functioning, and a brake light lens fell out. That was in 3 years... It's a fine car and a fun car with lots of bells and whistles but it will NEVER be as reliable and trouble free as a those late 90s Toyotas.
