Seriously though, BMW is known for many things, but reliability isn't one of them.
That would depend upon the BMW.
Based upon my personal experience, I'd say that a properly maintained four cylinder e36 is as reliable as anything else out there.
Quality?
Well, after a mere eighteen years and 140K, the ABS still works, the PWs and PDLs still work, the AC still works and the SRS still works, or at least the diagnostics run on each start and the warning light goes out.
This car still has its original radiator as well.
