The only German gas guzzlers are Porsche and V8 Petrol BMW's/Merc's/Audi's and even the R8 gets impressive milage for a supercar of its' performance. These vehicles only really sell in any real numbers in the US and the Middle East.
BMW has never really dipped in reliability surveys, nor has Porsche that much. It's Audi, VW and Mercedes Benz that did. The difference is that they remedied these problems within 5 years, rather than let it go on for 30, unlike the big 3.
