According to Whatcar? the most reliable in this class was the Z4 (2009 - 2016), the car with the most faults was the Mercedes Benz SLK diesel (2011 - 2016)

:o What drugs more like!
I have spent a small fortune replacing parts and repairing others to keep my E86 up to top reliable spec.I am happy to do so as the reward she gives is just so good,but to say these cars are reliable implies a low maintenance budget? :headbang: :thumbsdown:
