I'll believe it when I see it myself. I've owned two out of warranty BMW's and put about 25k miles on each of them, and I've had exactly one issue - a single coil on my 328i.

My 2009 335i runs like a dream with 50k miles on it. From what I can tell, most of the reliability grumblings on the 335i come from the HPFP, wastegate, and water pump, but 2/3 of those are warrantied by BMW.

HPFP - 10 year 120k warranty. Newest version of the part seems to be reliable.
Wastegates - 8 year 82k warranty
Water Pump - This is the only one that really ticks me off.

The rest of the reliability issues seem to come from people with heavily modified or poorly maintained or beat up cars. Not that bad if you ask me.
