I gave up on BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar a long time ago. Maintenance drains!

Love my Lexus and don’t care if it’s PC or not.

You're certainly right about BMW - I currently drive two and have owned several previous models. Quality has gone down (along with driving pleasure) while complexity and maintenance costs have gone up.

My latest BMW is a lease - the first car I've ever leased instead of buying, and maintenance is why. My next car will most likely not be a BMW - maybe a Tesla - but it will certainly be leased. Maintenance on new cars with turbos and a huge array of electronics has simply gotten to be too expensive. It'll only get more expensive as self-driving technology ramps up.
