Yeah my gfs dad and my aunt (who was in the car business for years) said German cars, BMW's especially, can be very pricey if anything goes wrong

Here's an example of how much bullshit it is, I owned an Audi TT, and as if a timer had gone off, the starter went out not a week after the warranty had expired.  Replacing a starter on most domestic and Japanese brands tends to set you back 200-300 dollars, for the TT it was 800.  Sensors tend to go for 200-300 dollars a pop, and if one goes out several tend to go with it, and don't get me started on the air suspension in most German cars.

Why are they so high maintence? Are they usually for more experienced drivers?
