Are BMW SUVs reliable?

After my employer gave me a bonus for my work, I’m ready to put it towards a new car. However, I’m still a value buyer, so I don’t want to buy something with flash and no substance. I like the idea of a BMW SUV, but are they reliable?

BMW SUVs are moderately reliable, but only if they’re properly maintained. Almost any BMW SUV has the potential to run for 200,000 miles, but again, it’s all about keeping up with your
basic car maintenance schedule
located in your owner’s manual.
Overall, you can reasonably expect to pay an average of $1,100 a year for repairs and maintenance over the life of the car—which is far higher than some other SUVs on the market. But since it’s an import and a luxury vehicle, this amount is comparable to other vehicles in the luxury SUV segment.
