How reliable is a BMW 328i?

I was going to buy a BMW 328i, but one of my friends told me that it’s not a reliable car because it needs tons of repairs. Is this true? Should I buy a different car?

The
BMW 328i
has an average reliability rating compared to other vehicles in its class. However, it does also have higher annual ownership costs than average, with annual repair costs reaching $773.
Part of the reason for this is that the 328i is a luxury car, so some of the replacement parts can be more expensive than average. However, it’s also true that *the BMW 328i requires more repairs** than the average vehicle in its class, so you’ll be visiting the mechanic more often as well.
While this doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to buy a different car, it is something to consider when comparing the cost and features of different vehicles.
