Same with the BMWs I've owned (2009 to 2019 MYs). Is cost of ownership (maintenance & tires) cheap? Not really. Do they have a lot of mechanical issues? Not really. Does it feel like a rock solid, purpose built machine that is enjoyable to drive with a great infotainment system? YES.

I will say the little electrical gremlins can be annoying and pricey to fix, but I'm okay with it. I've owned Mazdas too which were 80% as great and don't have those problems, but with a little bit less "solidity".
