Without discussion of a particular model, it is difficult to have an objective discussion about bmw reliability. Here are just some of the factors that have changed and continue to change with each generation:
Electronics in everything
Safety systems including radar and collision prevention
Weight
Dual clutch transmissions
Carbon fiber reinforced plastic
Aluminum
Enormous braking systems
Turbochargers and 'overboost' functions
Tires and increasing sizes
Then consider the modifications that everyone likes to do, especially those who choose poor quality parts.
The S2000 was conceived in the 90s and your AP1 barely has any of these considerations. I think the answer to your question is, we have no idea about the long-term quality of these modern cars. We could make an educated guess based on the manufacturing philosophy of the auto maker.
