Subaru's used to be good, the 2005-2010 models were great (minus the engine gasket issues), but long term quality over the years have declined. We recently traded in a Subaru (which we bought new) with a low mileage Honda.....with the Honda being 2 years older than the Subie and the Honda still being better put together than the 2 yr newer Subie.

BMWs, Toyotas, and everyone else have lower quality than they used to.

BMW was never know for quality. They don’t say they’re in the shop all the time for nothing.

..... and it is a used BMW - so they will be hitting it at the higher maintenance point.3 years from now, a 3 YO Subaru will have a lot less (and less expense) maintenance than a 6 YO BMW

Neither of you want reliability.

In three years you will have a three year old Subaru.

In three years, you will have a six or seven year old bmw.

See where I am going? BMW will be fun first year (thought eyesight is amazing). In a few years, you will be sorry you bought the cooler used machine.
