@bk11121988 No. The 3 Series badged as a 2012 was sold throughout 2012 and production stopped in October or thereabouts. The all new 3 Series, which will be available in Sport, Luxury and Modern versions, will be out I think later this month and will be badged as a "2013" BMW.
@chigasaki06 It's all relative your typical BMW will have far more electronic systems running your car over any lesser brand such as ford, vauxhall, kia etc so by the law of odds it will go wrong more often. The difference I hold on German cars in general is that the excluding the electronic hiccups the engineering of the car does run supreme and you can see this in the 30 year old Mk1 Golf Gti's still running around still often with the original paint and very little corrosion.
@nielsboex My statement wasn't based on a mere assumption. Secondly, I didn't realize one had to own "numerous cars of each each model" to make that determination. 1. My father owns a foreign auto repair shop, guess which brand he works on the most? BMW. Mostly b/c of electrical issues. He always tells me never to get own unless there's a good warranty, bound to give trouble. Lastly, based on consumer reports etc, German brands, particularly BMW don't fair very well.
Prove* except* You asked a rhetorical question. It would be like me saying can you prove that any car from another country is better than an italian car?

@chigasaki06
Why would you assume they're not reliable ? How you owned numerous cars of each model ?
do they make a manual transmission version
@jonglin71 BMWs are completely full of soul, they are brilliant driving machines, no matter what model you are buying, as long as it's a RWD one.

@ghhgyiufff Only wish the reliability would match the driving experience.
@onlinetrollhere2stay Do you think - or can you even proof - that any car from another country - is better than a german car? expect luxury cars
@onlinetrollhere2stay du hast ma gar keine ahnung!
@jonglin71 Go and buy a Chinese Car. You deserve it.
