My neighbor had her Z4 stop dead on I75 in the middle of Atlanta. She
was terrified. This is the 4th BMW she has gotten rid of, in the past
year and a half, for various reasons. Technology seems to have ruined
the brand.

BMW's are great cars, but are notoriously unreliable compared to most other cars.

I have a 5 year, 100k mile warranty on the Audi. I probably won't keep it past that period. It's a great car, but extremely complex. I've seen one at the dealer with the dash torn apart. Multiple controllers, tons of wiring, and even fiber optic connections. The day of the shade tree mechanic is long gone.
