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?

HA!  No, they do it because they can, because idiots are willing to pay more for the "luxury" experience.  Don't get me wrong, the ride and comfort of German cars is good, it's just designed to fail.  German cars are the pinnacle of planned obsolescence, the only brand that is outright worse when it comes to that is Land Rover, don't even accept one of those pieces of trash as a gift unless it came with a comprehensive service plan.
