Please don't take this the wrong way, but it seems like every time I read
about various car troubles on this list, they're occurring in 3 series cars.
Is it just that there are way more 3 series owners on the list, or is there
really a difference in build quality between 3 series and 5ers?

Curious in Seattle,

'85 524td (very well kept by PO, otherwise it would have its share of
problems too, I'm sure)
