> Modern Alfas are about as reliable as german cars I've just read the other day that BMW is recalling 1M+ vehicles on the US market because of engine fire issues. What? Last weekend we went on a trip and what do you know, smoke coming out of the hood of a burning BMW X3 on the other side of the road, fire brigade etc. When we returned we saw it reduced to a pile of burned down chasis. A woman from a neighbouring office bought a brand new BMW X6 (the butt ugly ones). She had to take it back to the dealership because the engine would overheat.
