Stories from the shop

Look, these two are running close enough that you'd be fine either way. Reliability scores are within rounding distance (4.4 for the 2015 bmw M4, 4.4 for the 2015 nissan Quest), and they've each got their own laundry list of weak spots. There's no clean winner here on the data alone.

If you're leaning 2015 bmw M4, know what you're getting into on electrical and powertrain. Those categories have noticeably more complaints than what the 2015 nissan Quest sees, and they're not cheap items when they go.

Bottom line: pick based on use case more than the spec sheet. If you tow heavy and don't want to think about it, that's one calculation.
