Used car reliability ratings

[GreenDragon]

Saw this on MSN. It's quite interesting:

3 -Series

5 - Series

7 - Series

M3

You can check the reliability of just about all cars, and other BMW makes and models. It's not all years however.

Here is the link to the home, or start page, for this.

it's only 5 years old. damn! how much did you pay for it? i'd be skeptical to buy a car with that many miles on it. well i bought mine with 115,000 but i only paid 500 bucks

I was skeptical at first, but then I test crove it and fell in love. She still runs great, pulls hard, no problems. Interior is perfect, exterior has some chips from flying rocks, etc (normal stuff). The car was originally bought in NJ (I'm second owner) and I bought it in VA so I have to figure they did a lot of highway driving (I'm talking I95 between states type driving). I'm not getting into how much I paid, don't ask (let's just say I got screwed on the financing, long story) it's a sore spot for me.
