I don't mind having say 1 problem a year, no big deal. I am willing to except that to get a 135i. I just hope/don't want many problems I have been warned about from even people I know and love BMW cars but no longer own them. I was considering the G37S but I want the torque, the IS 350 is said to handle poorly and has no feel. There is no other car in my price range that will even compare to the 135i. I guess I will maybe take a chance. Consumer reports does say the 3 series is average and improving. Since the N54 TT engine is now in the 1,3,5 series, there should be enough out there to see about reliability. Why can't BMW build cars without electrical problems? They brag about the assembly plants but whats going on?

As far as internet, some might only post when having problems, but some BMW owners with many problems might also say they don't have problems. NO real truth I guess.

Buying a BMW is like going to Vegas IMO.
