The E46 is probably the best platform for reliability today however unlike the cars I had back then a lot of the parts now are or have plastic components. The constant heating and cooling plus being plastic causes them to break. For example my current E21 has the original 30 year old radiator all metal. My e46 is on it's 2nd radiator.
