For a long time Japanese cars were top in the breakdown statistic, Toyota was unbeatably with its reliability. Now that has changed, German manufacturers are on top position now, especially BMW!The best models come particularly from BMW, under it the jeep X3. It reveived the honor “yellow angel” for quality in Europe. Here is the new ranking for 2008:BMW X3 Audi A2 BMW 1er BMW Mini Mazda 3 Mercedes CLK Audi A4/S4 BMW 3er Mercedes SLK Mitsubishi Space Star
 
I beg to disagree with the findings. The number of breakdown has something to do with volume of sales. In this case, the X3 has proven to be the least popular BMW model worldwide. If fact, some say the X3 is a failure. With the small volume of sales, of course the number of breakdown is also less.
 
aiya, pay no attention to him guys, he is a salesman...

Source is ADAC, similar to malaysian AAM, they do this statistic for more than 30 years now!

For the current breakdown statistics the General German Automobile Association evaluated 2.55 million breakdowns. Cars are all 1 to 6 years old and are for at least 3 years on the market, without mayor changes and registered minimum 10 000 times. In Germany there are more than 55 Mio. cars on the road.

A cause for the Toyota crash is obviously the rapid growth of the success mark and the quality assurance can´t hold step.
 
I doubt that an average BMW would subject itself to the type of usage a Japanese car has to go through. A BMW is after all a lot more expensive than an average JDM, so the owner would normally over pamper or give more maintenance attention to their BMW. And this particular behavior has everything to do with the above statistic.

.. and I can tell you that no matter how frequent your replace engine oil in a BMW, its chances of breakdown is still higher than a JDM. Simply because of too many electronics in the German car. For instance, an Audi A6 engine cannot start just because reverse sensor malfunction..

Carburetor car is most reliable.. :p
