Those are "high performance" vehicles that people are talking like the 335i is also. Even if you look at American car forums, peoples focus isn't on how to make the car more reliable, it's how to make it faster.
My second car is a 2010 gmc sierra right now. I have over 40k miles on it and it hasn't had one problem.I didn't buy the e90 335i thinking I was buying a Ferrari, and I don't even see how people compare it like that.

I tend to agree, American cars have gotten way more reliable as of late. The problem is, many people making car buying decisions were alive in the 1970s and 1980s when they were really pretty bad. So they have had an uphill battle to overcome those preconceived notions. I think the American manufacturers have stepped up their game immensely, especially in the small and midsize car segment.
