I guess in the end what bothers me more is BMW's recent prices hikes rather than the occasional headaches given by poor reliability.
It makes more power and gets better mileage than the NA I6 it replaces.

But I guess you're right, for $50k you could instead get an Audi A4, Cadillac ATS 2.0T, or a C300 oh shit wait....

So I guess instead of all of those cars with 4 cylinders, you could save money and get a Lexus IS250 with a V6 engine which is the slowest car in the class and gets the worst gas mileage...that's probably why Lexus finally started offering an IS200t, but what do I know?

Besides, I'm sure the price increases are keeping up with inflation...prices go up over time.
