Nissan's revival plan included using most all the same parts, making exciting looking cars and overlooking quality. Nissan was already at or below the industry average. It's not like they were the most reliable cars so this stuff should have been expected.
The new Maxima has TSBs already and the new Altima has recalls left and right.

I guarantee ;though, if maintained properly, the BMW will stay tighter (have less rattles, etc) and, basically, last longer than any Toyota, Honda or Nissan.

I'm sorry but you're wrong. Go sit an a 10 year old Accord and then a 10 year old 3 series and the Honda will feel tighter. Also keep in mind that these cars are usually double of what the Honda costs.
Sorry, they are a lot more fun to drive but BMW can't keep up with Honda/Acura/Toyota/Lexus in quality.

Funny. I'm coming from Honda to Nissan.
Drove a 6th gen Accord. The car has terrible transmission reliabilty. (V6's tranny only) People screamed bloody murder for a recall after going through 4 transmissions on a 2-3 year old car. But no such thing from Honda. They just extended the warranty on the most recent year Accords. If the Accord had a CL-S tranny, the V6 would be a decent car, but with it's flawed by design tranny, and no support from Honda.... Thumbs down.

I think a lot of people are selling because they perceive the Z to have lots of problems by reading our rants on Z websites, too. First time buyers have no idea what teething problems newly introduced cars can have and they're spooked by what I and a bunch of other Z fanatics get wrapped up in trying to get our cars perfect.
As far as I am concerned, the only problem that has confounded me is the tire wear, a professional alignment(by my dealer) has cured mine, I believe. Nissan has been slow to respond to our pleas/rants/logical reasons for addressing it. All of the other problems are not uncommon for newly introduced cars.
