10 Highest-Ranking BMW Models (4 of 6)

5. BMW 3-series

The 3-series is truly an iconic sports sedan. Its dimensions are practically flawless, and its rivals find it a challenge to come up with anything that outperforms the 3-series capabilities. The most current G20 generation model scores an extremely impressive reliability rating of 97.3%, an improvement over the previous F30 model. If not for oil leak issues and occasional glitches with the Cross Traffic Alert system, this one would rate even higher.

4. BMW X3

It’s not a surprise that the BMW X3 is referred to as the 3-series’ “big brother.” Their prices are comparable, and they share a lot of the same attributes, including engines, transmissions, and overall appearance. The biggest plus is that when German motoring association ADAC analyzed more than 3 million vehicle breakdowns, it found the X3 to be least prone to failures. Furthermore, the problems that the X3 does suffer from are relatively minor and can be fixed rather easily, such as electrical issues and engine coolant loss.
