Stereotype is strong worldwide. 
I met every policeman in 30-mile circle.
During 5-years owning & pleasure driving 3-Series (E30).
(If you must carry corpus delicti, do it by Hyundai Accent).
I'm member of BMW club (besides Citroen Xantia is my excellent daily ass-carrier).
3-Series E46 has better quality than precedessor.
"Beware, Missing Wallet!" E36 has much more shortcommings, cut-cornerings, even unadequate rust protection.
Early 90s was hard time for BMW. They were urged to cruel tighten their belts.
