Engines can and do go in any car. IIRC, the 1.5t Honda engines had some significant issues at least early on, for example. And BMW certainly has a history of building engines that have fatal flaws which can and do cause catastrophic engine failure.
All of this comes down to risk---the likelihood of catastrophic failure. Perhaps you're soured because of the two people you know, but if I'm going for durability and hassle free experience I'm going Kia/Hyundai before BMW.
