BMW other reported problems

Owners have filed 1,942 complaints with NHTSA about the other systems on BMW vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 153 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the BMW X5, worst in 2019.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
