As my mechanic says Cars are a waste of money,so dont worry about reliability because its a vehicle and vehicles always cost you one way or another .
As the quote says buy one and see, They are great to drive and they will cost you money. 1997 BMW R1100GS

lots of 1.
a bit of 2.
Maybe I have been lucky or I have done the right amount of maintenance 83 k hard miles
the vehicle still drives like a dream & looka good (at the stage of sorting my alloy wheeks that are just showing signs of corrosion)
The best car I have ever had...bar none.
Would I buy another..YES...but not a D4....I will wait for the new Discovery & see BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics
Save the Dipstick Flagbearer-keep it simple, less likely to fail campaign-agenda items:Starting Handles, Acetylene Lamps.
Founder: Dipsticks-R-Us Inc
D3 HSE-perfectly formed, passenger friendly...has real DIPSTICK
Jag XK-but sadly no DIPSTICK...HUGE design fault
FL2 has DIPSTICK..."real comfort in rear seats"
VW Golf wondermobile (?)..has real DIPSTICK
Morris Minor..original DIPSTICK technology..and a real KEY.
