I suspect that a good portion of any negativity comes from lingering reputation of old experiences when BMW did not have as good a quality performance as well as forums, almost by definition, invite a disproportionate amount of complaints. We now have four BMWAG corporate products from 2015-2018 model years (five, if I count our son's), and all have been stellar...only the most minor couple of issues across all of them.
