My wife's Toyota years ago had its share of issues beyond 100k miles and I know several people with newer Rav4's that had the 4 cylinder engine completely shit the bed before 120k miles.

No offense, you can quote the one-off circumstances all you like, but the bottom line is that the typical Honda or Toyota will have a much more reliable and less expensive life than the typical BMW.
This is exactly why the last 3 cars we got for my wife were either a Honda or Toyota.
