That's your personal doubt versus BMW and Toyota's statement. But as to why? Why wouldn't BMW try to improve its reputation for reliability since they've lost their ground as a benchmark from Cadillac and Alfa. Now they're saying Genesis is better. Reliability would be a great way for BMW to get back some of its fan base. People love Bimmers but feel safer in Infiniti, Cadillac etc... Due to they're more reliable and parts are cheaper. Also audi has been taking a huge share out of BMW because their reliability ratings have shot up since 2012 have been steadily increasing. So yeah... It pays for BMW to make more reliable engines.
And toyota never made an unreliable anything. Why would they start now?
