I'm at 10k miles on my 2018 530e and I've had to bring it in for the following issues:

Check engine light at 7k miles - the dealership replaced waste gate module
My adaptive grille shutters got stuck open around 8k miles - the dealership replaced the motor for the grille shutters
Most recently the ConnectedDrive app got stuck sending commands - the dealership reprogrammed the iDrive in the car

I honestly don't mind the few issues I have had since I get to put miles on the loaner cars instead of mine, but I wouldn't exactly call my car flawless either. With that said none of the issues caused me to be stranded on the side of the road, but its worrisome since I bought my car verses leasing it. My intention was to keep it a good 6-8 years before moving on, but not so sure about that plan at this point.
