Agreed, good example is this M2C that barely made it 500 miles on Euro Delivery before needing a new engine:

FWIW, I bought a brand new Hyundai in 1991 for $6K to drive to/from college. Beat the piss out of it, only did oil changes and sold it 2 years later with 40K on the clock.
Years later, I bought a brand new E46 323i and it promptly broke down with under 100 miles on it (faulty thermostat, started to overheat).
