What makes you think they're any better?
The coil pack issue affects more than just VAG cars. It's just that VAG were
the worst affected.

Re: Fix for high oil consumption - New Spark plug, new valve stemon number 5 and seal
In all fairness and stating the obvious there are millions of happy Audi
drivers that can rightly sing Audi praise from the roof top - I have just
been unlucky and currently have a bad taste.
From faulty boot locks, intermittent starting problems, oil and EPM issues
it seems my second home home has been the dealership and I or the car have
been a Jonah over the last nine months
Never owned a beamer, like the X5 and think the change will flip my luck.
Happy motoring......
