Look at the E90 for example, the same exact car but with a different engine and a few features can be a completely different reliability experience (N52 vs. N54).

Well said, and the only reason the N54 was unreliable because it was a new engine for BMW and it was bringing forth many new technologies. It was their first mass produced Turbo and it had direct injection, for 2006 how many cars had direct injection? No Japanese car, that's for sure. Honda and Toyota only recently been making direct injection after the German's sorted out all the issues. The Japanese rarely take risks and stick with old technology.
