I never understood this logic. BMW or any company should be engineering cars to be as good or better than the competition. If BMW ends up just building cars to last 3 years, which seems to be the typical lease period, the used market will be flooded and new car values will drop... because the cars basically become 3 year rental cars and no one will want to buy one.
With the price as high as it is on a BMW versus other brands we know that last, I expect maintenance to be a bit more, ride a bit better, and reliability to be the same or better. If not, I'll get rid of the Bimmer and bad mouth them to hell to never purchase or lease one.
There are too many other brands that deliver cars that meet/beat expectations.
