I have owned BMW's since 1976 starting with a new 2002 - the reliability was poor until the 90's, but improved after that with the 525i; in my experience, it has been steadily going downhill since about 2010 and the cost of maintenance going up significantly at the same time - I currently have a 2013 X5 which I continue to hang on to because of the poor reliability of a new 2021 X5 that I experienced - the handling is why you should buy a BMW, not for the reliability and be prepared for very high maintenance costs.
