I have not yet bought a RMBP, call me weird but I prefer to let other people find the problems with a brand new product before shelling out my cash. I'm considering one later this summer/early fall but I have a lot of questions with regards to non-optimized apps that I use daily that need to get figured out first.
And I'm driving a BMW now and can't wait till I can get rid of it to replace it with something more reliable. That vehicle will not be German
I know but audis are just Volkswagen's
I have no clue what the first part of that comment means. As far as the second, I'll repeat, you haven't driven a German car, have you?
I love my vehicle but I've paid ridiculously more in maintenance on it than any previous car i've owned (both American and Japanese). I also most likely wouldn't buy an American car now.

And you've never driven a German car made later than the 1980s, have you? (just messing with you
What BMW do you have that's having issues?
Never had any major issues with my 01 E39 540i, my 06 E66 750Li nor my current 08 E60 M5. That's not even mentioning the numerous other German cars I had in the nineties.
Did have some issues with the Airmatic suspension/Active Body Control in my W220 S-Class but that was a widely known issue and was fixed under warranty.
Well played
'03 E46 here, it really hasn't been horribly unreliable but it's more the massive cost of repairs when I do have to take it in. I've started doing the lower end ones at home, I was quite impressed with myself when I managed to replace the serpentine belt
With an older model German vehicle (or any vehicle tbh) you should definitely find yourself a good indy shop. The dealer charges a crapton for parts and a crapton for labor when you're out of warranty. An indy should be able to get parts cheaper and fit them for much less than a dealer would charge, and they'd probably do a better job too.
I'm not looking forward to the day I get the red cog of death, that clutch replacement won't be cheap. It's like a ticking time bomb that goes off every 80k (or less). That's the price I pay to run an SMG gearbox
I have seen it. Looks rough, yeah. The Canary beta is out and looks fine though. Given how the Retina Pro is only a few days old, I'd say that's a pretty quick update.
More and more applications will be updated for the Retina display. If you don't want to wait for developers to catch up, well, that's why they still offer the legacy Pro. When making such a huge jump in resolution there are bound to be compromises.

In terms of maintenance, I've noticed that my rear tires need to get replaced a lot quicker than on my other cars. Probably because I drive them harder than my Japanese vehicles. Otherwise no other factors to report.
I recently wanted to lease a midsize sports sedan for a year and chose the Audi S4 over the CTS-V. The V had huge amounts of power, but the chintzy interior was disappointing for a 'luxury' marque like Cadillac. I will admit that the new 335's steering feel is simply too vague in comparison, but I'd have no concerns about reliability. In fact I wouldn't have reliability concerns for any modern new vehicle assuming it isn't an exotic or poorly maintained.
I suppose Bentleys, Bugattis, Lambos and Porsches are all VWs too?
Have an Aventador? Should've just bought a Passat!
