The standard of driving on our roads. That has certainly got worse and I'm the one that has to apply for a new licence next year. Disgusting.So some things have got better yes, but not everything.
I don't see most of them doing 200k miles without issue, unlike some of the older, simpler designs
A great deal of 80s cars had trouble getting to 100k without major work.
Ok Who makes Jaguar, Landrover, TATA, check the rest they make
REALLY !!!!!

I've worked for bmw for 19 years, starting in 2001 with the e39, 53,38 all of these were super reliable, super comfortable and in no way aimed at a traveling sales men.
That’s some rose tinted specs! 2001 and German manufacturers in particular were at the height of account cost cutting and low, for them, quality. Also they were most definitely aimed at sales men and middle managers then, before then and ever since. Who do you think ‘buys’ most of them?
Not really, like I say, I've worked for them for 19 years. Yes the higher bmws were had by upper management, however the salesmen were in vectras, mondeo etc, there wasn't any salesmen in e46 3 series, diesel was a swear word. Now everyone including their dog has a 320d and bmw even admit that it's aimed at the salesmen not family's. It's also obvious in the way the dealerships operate now. It's all about budget budget budget. How many hours can a tech sell, how many cars can salesmen sell. It then trickles down to something like servicing. 1998-2001era large service was a few hours, now its an hour. A basic service is 30 minutes now.That’s some rose tinted specs! 2001 and German manufacturers in particular were at the height of account cost cutting and low, for them, quality.

Yes. They both have a black tyre in each corner. But the Volvo XC90 is the most unreliable car sold in the UK (Which? magazine).
Best cars ever, proven by rising prices and the amount of specialist catering for them. Yeah rusty arches and boot lids seem to be a problem....It is widely agreed that BMWs from 2000-ish had the best build quality. That is the E39, E46, etc. The only down side was / is rust.
there wasn't any salesmen in e46 3 series
Yeah imagine having to drive a vectra Instead of an e46. E90 however was the start of bmw and the rep mobilThat’s hilarious

Sorry for your loss!!!! That e46 above is lovely. Remember when bmw did a proper "individual" range. Oh those were the days. HahaYup, had both front wings replaced under BMW warranty and had the rears booked in for new metal before my car was written off in an accident.
