Kia/Hyundai have not just suddenly become popular, growth has been solid and ongoing for a while though Hyundai has struggled lately with Kia making better inroads.

There's a theme of quality being up there that just have not seen in my experience, that is all. I will also add that Korean cars tend to be equipped with crappy tyres from the factory.
Man, most cars come with awful tires. I've learned to check inventory, sometimes the same car has wildly better tires as a build option.

The fall of Nissan and Honda also have something to do with it; Hyundai and Kia have essentially replaced those brands in every way. Nissan, in particular, has an embarrassingly stale product lineup and their best-selling car (Rogue) is junk that sells purely because it is cheap. Honda has been resting on their now-dated reputation for reliability and have faced issues by cutting corners and putting out very uninspired products.

And there is a whole another thread on spun crank hub of the S55 in M2Cs as well with a few forum members here needing a new motor because of it.

https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1492290

BMW quality is not any better than Hyundai/Kia. And the warranty with BMW is shorter.

Oh, and here is an M3 owner describing his situation and needing a motor rebuild at 7k miles. There is "superior" bmw quality for you.

All I have to say is what the hell am I doing wrong that a college kid has a M4 and a truck; not to mention additional money to mod said M4.

Crazy money

There is a guy called Chevy Dude who sells Chevrolets. He does one YouTube video each week. He showed his viewers how advertising, views and YouTube payments work. He made right at $40k just from YT. And he does not put in near the effort some of the YTers do. Many make easy 6 figures with YT.

It is not a hobby for them, it is serious business.
