Welcome Lola.
You sound like me a year ago when I was considering buying a car but then found all the tales of woe on here from owners of pre 2014 cars. I have every sympathy with peoples problems with the early cars but reading reports of unreliable cars certainly puts into doubt the decision to buy or not.
The post title is a bit unfair to the current M3W and anyone considering buying one might be alarmed.
I think the title of this post should be renamed?
Perhaps it should read:-
'Trouble Free Cars. Do any makes exist?'
Some makes are better than others but even the likes of Toyotas or VWs have problems.
The M3W is a specialist/unconventional car and one cannot expect to do the same mileage as your average Vauxhall Van without things going wrong/needing replacing/adjusting.
It also depends on how one drives it!
The 2014 models onwards should be reliable if driven sensibly. I have my doubts if constantly driven hard.
I am in contact with several people with 2015 models and touchwood none have had any problems other than the usual new car teething/bedding in things that one gets with any make.
Some TM members live many hours away from the nearest dealer to get their cars serviced but have still bought into one of the most exciting and fun vehicles on the market.
Buying a current model with all the revision's and living near to Malvern should make the decision of buying a M3W a no brainer.
