So I just started work on a BMW......

German cars really aren't good tbh. Most of them (especially the VAG stuff) are totally unreliable.
As for the premium service, that's only true for Mercedes and that's why Taxi drivers love them.

My favourite cars for reliability are japanese ones, my parents drive a Honda CR-V on nearly 400,000km and it only got serviced regularly and the brakes done sometimes. Nothing else.

Yeah although i dont like Mercs as a car, i do think they are much better in terms of reliability (other than rust lol). This is why i like Sweedish cars. You still get that German attention to detail but they really are bullet proof (except 2000MY Saabs with Garrett turbos lol)
