I know a lot of friends with Benz's and Bimmers. The MB are reliable. The BMW's are not.
Not my experience at all - I've had two bimmers, both purchased with over 125k on them, and each had the lowest cost of ownership of all the cars I've owned. Parts cost is very close to honda if you do need anything. The engines are designed for 250k before overhaul. If they made a real truck, I'd still own one. Kiddo didn't fit well in the back of my e39 540i, but I loved that car.
