bmw is not young buffalo. man!
production quality is bomb as usual
BMW sucks at fuel consumption rubbish
You're much too 'white' to be allowed to grow a UA-cam channel -- and that is NOT tongue-in-check.
I just left Bryan at Kies a comment telling him "I couldnt wait to get my sidemarkers!" and i didnt see my comment either. Weird.
I'll be buying my first bmw and after watching several of your videos on the advice I felt secured and safe about buying a used bmw I subcribed and turned on the notification bell and thank you for the great advices☝
BMWs are awesome but be very careful when buying. Ive had mine for 16 months and just now ran into a problem but if you are unlucky you can have a big problem only a few months after buying. GET A PPI It will be very worth it as oil leaks are common and transmissions if beaten on can go out around 100k
Don't bother, they're total junk.
@@8corymix8 Not at all. They are great cars but like every car if you dont take care of it then its not gonna last as long
Honor Axis YES PPI! Did it with my f30. Did not do it with my e60.
Get a Pre Purchase Inspection from an independent Euro mechanic or the dealer. They might be more pricey but they know common problems!
Also if you can, while the car is cold check the coolant level. If there's a leak assume the whole system will need refreshing. If not now then in the near future.
Love your program. I own a 2009 BMW 750i and I love the car! Never had any issues with it. In fact I’ve owned three different types of BMWs ranging from the three series to the five series and the seven is the best. I do keep it maintained, change all the fluids; and you are right, a third-party mechanic is far better than using the dealership.
You are the exception not the rule. Just had to replace entire rear suspension with air bladders, shocks, and air pump. Cost $10k.
@@nycupperes man sorry to hear that. Was it worth it?
@@nycupperes sounds like you got fucked
Survivorship bias. My BMW broke down after 7 years. The transmission and engine gave out.

2014 BMW 328i xDrive - purchased w/ around 30,000 miles on it. Almost at 68,000 miles right now. The most major failure I had was a bad turbo wastegate which was replaced under warranty (CPO vehicle). A tank of gas is running me around $40 lately, and other than that the car has been running strong 💪🏾 I just take care of it & it has been extremely reliable. The stories about BMW’s scared me away for a long time, but my ownership experience hasn’t been bad & I’ll likely buy another BMW in the future.
Previous BMW was 2012 328i. Current is a 528i with luxury package and Adaptive LED lights. Most costly repair was on the 328i. Replaced the starter - $900 other than the Premium fuel. it's cheaper than our VW Jetta
Same
Trying to decide between a e90 or 2.5l Jetta
@@yerpster I personally would go with the e90 and im also saving up money for it
I was thinking about getting a 2008-2012 328i

2001 e46 m3 owner here. 6 speed, 109k miles. Subframe, vanos, Rods already done. In my year of ownership, only 2 oil changes, coil packs and spark plugs(preventative), and an alternator. 🤘🏼
I own a 07 328xi. Been bullet proof! Have 125xxx on the clock and only major repairs were the valve cover gasket and the oil pan gasket. Love it so much. Has 6 speed manual and it’s a blast to drive. Pretty good on gas for what it is as well.
2009 BMW 328i here, owned it for about 4 months so far only repair needed was a new speed sensor for $20. Love the car. So much fun to drive.
2001 bmw 330d touring, has been nothing but reliable ! Not getting rid of it any time soon

I just bought a 2016 M2 convertible with 30,000 miles two owners who leased it. Your comment about owning a 2001 bmw makes me feel even better! Thank you
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I'm doing heavy research on owning a BMW, so this is extremely helpful
Did you buy it?
Well did you??
@@mamiiandpapii we will never know
I'm doing the same 👍
Thanks I did check the grounds all intact. Keep up the good work Justin. You are an inspiration for the inquisitive mind.
I just bought a 2015 328i gt and I absolutely love it so far. It’s my first bmw 😅 Your videos are super helpful and I look forward to being a part of the bmw family 👍
2011 BMW E88 128i. Has had no problems. I have only done preventative maintenance. Overall wonderful car!
2010 Bmw 328i 88k mi
Engine runs perfectly, i’m now seeing wear on my shocks and struts but gonna diy them soon. interior is holding up well and paint is in decent condition. i love my car and would recommend it to anyone
2008 328xi purchased about 4 months ago! Loads of issues, but just got everything sorted out! Love the channel @justin buice
I found this channel to be exactly what i was looking for to help my buy a BMW. I’m unable to find such detailed and authentic info anywhere else thanks man
This is so helpful since I just bought my first BMW last week. I was worried I had made a bad decision because of how expensive maintains could be but I feel a lot better now. Thank you for this video.
How is it 7 months later?
@@itz_caleb1567 Lol
how is it now
Do you still have it?
Thanks to you and this channel!!
I just bought my 1st BMW, a 2015 BMW 328i xDrive.
And I’ll be watching your channel more often to mod it out, actually about to do the red start/stop tomorrow 😎
I’m planning to buy one tomorrow
Really helpful for first time buyers, thanks for the solid content!
Your videography and editing has gotten a lot better. It’s looking really nice.
Thank you!
These videos are so helpful unlike all the others just slamming on BMW for breaking all of the time! I'm really interested in buying a 2011 or 2012 sedan or touring in the future! I'll prob save up so I can buy it off entirely without loans, hopefully fairly fast as I'm 19 with a decent job and living at home currently.
I just got a 528i, thanks to your vids I’m more confident I can take good care of my car 😁
This is definitely the most helpful video I’ve watched about used bmw ownership. Most people talk in circles without any numbers or details.
I recently (February 2022) bought a 2013 528i just as a daily driver. I'm only now coming up on month 3 of owner ship, and everything has been an absolute dream. Oil change in the next couple days, I got all my parts and tools, and what have you ready. The mahle cabin air filters were steep as hell at ~$50. And gas always hurts a little but. Everything is wonderful so far!
2013 bmw 328i xdrive F30, no real problems besides preventative maintenance. Great cars
Car is still pretty new though
Same here! I love mine. Only had to do tie rod ends $670 and tail light connector melted $200. Mine has 121k miles on it also.
Adam Pena buying one tomorrow. So excited
is it still going strong because I've been looking at that exact model, year, and trim for a few weeks now.
TheyActually hey man, how’d it hold up?
I have had my x5 e70 for about 5 months now. Got it with just under 80k miles on it. I have since had to replace the water pump and thermostat which was kind of pricey but that's what you expect on import cars. Gas is about $210 per month. Insurance for about $110 a month even though I have a bad driving record and not 21 yet lol. Overall it's not too bad compared to the comments people give. Much love from Indiana!!!
I currently own an E90 335i M with the N55. I got the car at the beginning of this year with 102k miles and I ran it up to 105k in one month. There wasn't much issues as expected as previous owners had a lot of those things replaced like the water pump, fuel pump, head gasket, and I think that is all that I know for now. In one month of ownership my SES came on and it was the OBDII read 3106 cats efficiency below threshold. I took it to my local independently owned BMW shop and they will be replacing and fixing a couple of things: the vanos bolts breaking, pcv assembly, cats threshold, leaking front struts, and oil and radiator hoses. I shall report back with how much that will come out, I'm mainly just paying the $100 deductible from my warranty with GWC.
Ive been watching your videos for about a year. I just bought a 2009 535i 78k miles. I love it. It will never go to a shop, i will do all maintenance myself and any necessary repair. Thanks for your videos 👍👍
Glad I could help!
thanks man just found your channel awesome stuff bro i just bought a bmw 320i 2009 wagon automatic got it at 66000km and average 1000kms a week very nice car to drive so far and get about 690 700 ks to a full tank if i drive like a nanny still much to learn about this and want to keep as a future project car for later on
Recently bought a 2016 528i with 37k miles for $21k. Love this car and I’m hoping for some good luck with its reliability. Just like with anything else the better you take care of it the better it takes care of you. Insurance is a bit more than my previous vehicle but not bad and I’m seeing 25+ mpg.
Great advice! I love your videos and I really appreciate all the information you provide. Cheers man
I own a 2006 BMW 325xi. Mine was brought on special order from Germany , it happends that I live in Michigan as well, we should do a ride-along some time, i'd be fun . As for the videos you helped me a lot with repairs and things as such, keep up the awesome work 👍😁
Hey love the vids man, I myself have a 2007 BMW 335xi and although I have had some expected issues (water pump and high pressure fuel pump) I cant complain bc it is such an amazing car. I can definitely agree though, doing as much maintenance yourself as possible will save you a small fortune.
You're definitely right about choosing a manual...it's less technical, so less issues...I'm in the middle of changing trans speed sensors due to a clutch read error...which manuals don't have to worry about...my most consistent expense is definitely gas...but to me, not being well-informed has been the biggest expense(preventative rather than learning-as-you-go).
2015 m235i f22
Had this car for almost a year and nothing but reliable and hasn't been nothing crazy expense wise for a recent college graduate. Had an e90 before that since 2009 and all I'll say is they dont call it the ultimate driving machine for nothing. Do maintenance on your own like Justin says and expenses wont be to bad.
Just dont go to the dealership (stealership) work on the car yourself or find independent shops like once again Justin suggests. He knows his stuff.
Great video bro 👊
2009 E93 335i
Water pump went out after yr 1 of ownership ($900 at a shop)
I replaced the Cracked vacuum lines with some new ones
Getting ready to do the VCG and OFHG along with new plugs and coils
Such a fun car!!!! Preventative maintenance is key :)
I own a 2008 E90 BMW 320d M Sport. I love the car to bits, I've recently started to mod it (aftermarket grills, remap, coding etc..) It's just clocked 160,000 miles and it runs like a beaut. Best thing i can say is just look after the car, regular oil checks, driving checks etc. These cars will last forever if you look after them properly :)
Check your timing chain… they break on N47
Used to own E60 530xi, thought I'd share some info. If you are buying used, it is really really important to know the history of the car. Why? So you can know if your BMW is going to be a money pit or not. Perfect example is my previous E60, I looked at bout 20-25 E60s before actually buying one.
What did I look at specifically?
Service history, it is important to know what wear & tear parts were replaced so you can ballpark on what's the upcoming repairs/replacements are going to be. If you see a clean history with minimal replacement, I'm not saying its gonna be an unreliable car but it means that you are going to spend some money on doing the replacement.
To me, if the previous owner(s) did replace lots of things recently (wear & tears) = it's a great deal since the car is gonna hold up for awhile. Of course you to be smart about it, if the car had one of the less common failures known then you better look somewhere else.
Owning a BMW is all bout doing scheduled maintenance and replacements, for most part the manual book covers a comprehensive info on which parts will need to be replaced at what mileage. Other than that, the BMW community has a vast amount of infos and support if you need help.
Thank you this was super helpful been in the market for a x3 and I understand now why I’ve been having bad luck
My BMW 328i just did a major maintenance paid $80 for oil change , re wire was $200 and alternator was 180 so it’s expensive but I learn how to maintain my 2010 3 series by watching your videos
Bought my 1st BMW this year. 2015 BMW 328i 4 cylinder automatic twin turbo. Got it at 82k miles. So far the only things I've had to replace were the tires and head lights/fog lights. 885 at American Tire to get new tires 221 per RF tire isn't bad at all.
Eventually going to switch the RFs regular tires and get myself some nice red with black trim rims but that's after I can put a lot more time into the car. But runs wonderfully. Did a lot of research before buying it. Your videos definitely helped me make a decision Justin.
Two months ago I bought a 2016 650i coupe. So far it’s been an amazing car. Gas wasn’t as bad as expected ~$40 to fill up and lasts me a week or two. Between paying for the car cash and all of the safety features, my insurance is only $110/Mo. Get the BMW 👍
How about now?
2005 325i 4dr, super reliable car. Owned for 3 years and 70kms (140km-210km) rough maintenance cost was 3000$. Not bad at all in my opinion
I got a 01 325i and the day I got it, I had to replace the coolant reserve tank, upper radiator hose and starter. I would have done that even if they hadn’t failed but I consider that a must do anyway. Other than that, the car hasn’t been bad. They’re not that hard to fix, grab a shop manual and do your own repairs and oil changes and your good.
Hey Bro, I’m in U.K, running a 330i m-sport 2006. Owned for 2 years no problems at all. Best car I’ve owned !. My only downside is the prices of fuel in U.K., i run only shell v power 99 octane, do about 300 miles a week and put in £80 a week fuel . Wish is lived in U.S. !. Awesome cars ! Keep up good work J.
Hi Justin, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your content. As of a week or so ago- I am the owner of a 330i, and I'm absolutely loving it. Without your videos, I may not have realized how nice and dependable a bimmer can be. Thank you, and keep making great content!

Whats the cost of ownership of X5? Planning to buy one
I found a 2014 750Li Xdrive with 9k miles back in Aug. 1 owner who was driven in it when they were in town for biz. It was kept in a climate controlled garage and maintenance was impeccable. I felt like i sold it after i drove off the BMW lot. Traded in my 2010 Convertible 650i that was paid off that had 40k miles on it. I have a BMW warranty for 5 yrs 45k mile on everything for the 750, even the leather and all glass is covered. White with black leather M package. Love the 7 series!
I have 330i 2007
Just paid it off. Thank God.
Last year BMW service £200. Had some leak fixed £400.
Fuel a week at least £50 for 200 miles a week.
Insurance is £1000 a year.
Kasim Khan didn’t they discontinue the 330i in 2006? i can see you are in the UK (due to the currency) but did they have the 330i for 2007 in Europe?

Owned my E90 since new in 2006, I have been amazed by the excellent reliability and quality this car demonstrates.
do you still have him? because i am looking into e90 2006/2007 320i. Is it expensive to own? any pros/cons? should i install LPG etc.? thanks :)
Ive got a 2013 116i f21, 106000+- km on and purring like a kitten, not too sure on monthly cost but i spend around 100 dollars on fuel, just mainly because i drive alot and we live a bit further away from certain things. Can completely agree with services being overpriced at dealerships, last oil change cost 140 dollars instead of 230 dollars at the dealership, i just didnt have time to change the oil myself. Your channel is awesome man!
I’ve been contemplating on purchasing a 2018 3 series 330i BMW. I was afraid until I saw your video. You’ve shed light on most of my concerns. Thanks.
I did it ! I bought a 2017 28i XDrive. ❤
Good video dude🤘no car payment on a bmw is the ultimate way to actually enjoy true ownership of the vehicle, and yes avoid all stealership 🙅🏽♂️and extended warranty coverage, just save your own money for maintenance.
Bmw 2006 330xi, now it has 160k miles, i've done most repairs myself and is been super reliable
Owned a 2012/13 F01 740d with the msport pack since new and it's a great car, costs around £3500 to run each year. I've put on 84,000 miles on it and can't wait to out a million plus miles on it. Can't go wrong with a BMW
I used to own a 2005 BMW X5 (e53) and it was a great car. It never stranded me and I had it up to about 160k miles. I then traded it in for a 2015 Mini Cooper s (f56) and it’s a magnificent car. It just rolled over 50k miles and hasn’t given me any issues. I also got the extended warranty for the mini which will insure me up to 100k miles 😁
2004 BMW 330Ci ZHP w/manual gearbox. Bought 26 days ago. Insurance 150 USD, registration 50 USD, repair costs 0 USD.
$150/m for insurance? What insurance do you have
I think a lot of people don’t even do the simple repairs themselves. These cars will bankrupt you if you don’t DIY.. they are great cars, very well made and a pleasure to own if you do your own work. I have a 2011 328i xDrive with 188,000 miles. It’s perfect still. This weekend o did bushings and balljoints.. I purchased the BMW special tool to do it and the cost was very affordable compared to the $2000 it would have cost me if i paid someone. Great cars.
Justin, how many miles do you have on yours?
Wow you are 300,000KM...Nice. I also have a 2011 BMW 328i xdrive. I do most repairs my self. The things I had to change were gasket leaks and other preventative maintenance like replacing all the fluids In the car. My car has 171,000 KM right now. It's good reliable car overall.
I'm on my second bmw , old but so far nothing to complaint about it ! (325i e36, 525i e39) as long as you are willing to do some DIY , they are awesome cars and not really expensive to maintain
Your camera is 🔥🔥🔥....and the BMW is too!! I'm thinking about getting a 128i coupe
08 bmw 335xi coupe, 100k miles runs and drives just as smooth as it did when i got it 20k miles ago. Preventative maitenance, struts, very typical repairs and although they're german engineered 99% of the problems can be diagnosed and repaired with helps of forums/vids.I would recommend an OBD scanner for potential buyers and owners

323i 2011 with 145k km. Cleaned my vanos at 140k. Other than that the car is amazing.
Mine is an 06 320d m sport
Monthly payment is under R3000 a month ($205)
Insurance is all inclusive under our business (not exactly what the car's costing is but total a month for insurance is under $150)
Fuel i fill ln a daily basis or R200 a day $13.71 and that gives me at least 150km on that single fill (average of 6 - 7 l/100km)
-
Major repair was a transmission replacement + turbo actuator (R14k including labour - $960)
New turbo was done through an aftermarket warranty which was included when purchasing the car...

My E36 we drive it like 500 miles a year lol. It has cost me about $300 this year so far for an alternator and a few parts and insurance
E36 will last a long time.
2003 525i with 60k Miles. Paid for the whole car up front (no monthly payments). I do all the maintenance my self the car has never given me any issues over a year of ownership but I did take care of a lot of preventative maintenance; water pump upgrade, valve cover, thermostat, other misc seals. All in my cost on parts was only about 1.5k added to the cost of the car. And then on average, it's about $200 a month for fuel and another $75 and $95 a year for Illinois registration.
I am now confident enough to buy a 2011 535i. I love the look and upgradability on them and can’t wait to get mine soon

I have a BMW E90 3 Series 2011 Petrol Manual Sport Edition (UK) 83000 miles on the clock! No major issues until recently. Traction control light coming on and goes into limp mode. Works fine with all driver assistance switched off. Could cost £20 for a new wheel speed sensor or could cost way more if I need new drive shafts due to corrosive reluctor rings.

Damn, your video quality is TOP notch
Thank you!
I’ve had a bmw 3 series 4 cylinder for about 5 months now i bought it used with 60k miles. The only issue I had was an oxygen sensor which just the sensor was about 330 I changed spark plugs and coils if you’re wondering it cost me about $900 for one fix. So yes it’s pretty expensive and FYI these parts I got weren’t aftermarket either. However I haven’t had a problem with it ever since. They’re fun cars to drive but from my experience I’d say driving habits are a big factor to how long your car will last you. And of course maintenance. Don’t be afraid to buy one I’m glad this video is out because I was on the same boat as everyone commenting before I bought a bmw and I’m very happy with it. .
Ive had a 1997 323i E36, A 2005 325i E90 and a 2007 525i E60. Only issues ive had were with the E36 water pump. It cost around $150 for the part and I just read forums and fixed it myself. My 525i used a lot of oil which i never got round to fixing as I couldnt find the leak. My E90 had an exhaust rattle but besides that it was a great car and never had an issue :) Only issue i ever had with both e90 and e60 were not having a spare tyre but youve explained in a previous video on how to get around this.

2000 bmw 328i (Bought to learn manual for $1200) e46
Bought it as a project car with some issues. Still a ton of fun to drive right now. Lot's to do to really get it fixed up.
2007 bmw 328i (Automatic) e90 - owned for two years, recently sold it to a friend.
2008 bmw 335i (Manual) e92 - (36k miles on it) made the upgrade and got some turbos, crossing my fingers on this one since i have heard the horror stories, but I just had to.
Will keep you posted!
The most I've had to deal with in the last two years was gasket issues and one dead & frozen battery in the middle of -30F (gotta love MN).
Rauschenburg how’s the 335 treating you? I just found a 90k mile manual one near me for just under $12k and want to pull the trigger on it badly
I’m getting a 2003 bmw 3 series and gonna learn your to save money on oil changes and maintaince on my own thanks for this videos
I have a 08 535i going through my highest repair now at 2,600. Very good looking car 3600 left on it to pay off but sheesssh you just made me jealous with your ride and repairs man I see not all bmw’s are bad!!
E60 525i hasn’t broken down at all since I picked it up 3 years ago
Edit: I do recall doing a valve cover gasket spark plugs and ignition coils the first 2 months of ownership, just preventative maintenance
Would you still recommend 3 years later
Well said Justin. Btw we’re living in Michigan and there’s no surprise by the weather turnaround lol 😂
Hello from Wyandotte, Mi💕
bmw e91 2008 2.0 diesel, owned it for 2years drove about 35k km in that time. when i got it i replaced the glowplugs, the most expensive repair was the clutch incl dual mass flywheel, but i was partially to blame because i didnt know how to drive stick properly when i got it . the repair was 600eur incl labor
I have a 2006 BMW 330i
The water pump has been my most expensive replacement right now. Other than that, it's been great.
Went from a 2007 328 to a 2014 335. The 328 was an awesome car. Valve cover, oil filter housing gasket, water pump, starter, window regulator were my main failures. Car was about $900 a year to insure and it ran a lot of highway and I averaged 32 highway. Could anyone afford it? I don’t know. Water pump and starter repair was kinda high. gaskets were cheap but annoying to replace. Other than that I did regular maintenance and it was definitely more expensive than an economy car but not as bad as everyone says.
How has the 335 been since you got it ?
That's really strange for my 2008 e90 water pump with thermostate was like 60EUR with replacement costs.
$900 a year for insurance isn't too bad here right now, two days away from 2023, lol.
@@Death_Metal_Head My insurance is 3200 a year as of 2023, never even been in a accident before and I have 1 car on basic. I wanna die when I see the bill history
I own a 2002 BMW 325 xi with over 325k km. Its got a steering rack leak on the right side but hopefully I get it fixed soon
300 thousand miles ??
The N52 engine is indestructible! My brother has an N46 and has quite a few problems with it. I'm currently driving it (2006 318i) and it's an amazing car but breaks pretty easily and it's not too powerful either. I've driven N52 and it didn't seem to have any of the problems that I've seen on N46.
2006 BMW 330Xi automatic. I bought it last year for $8k with 50k miles on it and the only thing I've done is change the oil and replaced the rear break pad sensor which was about $20 for the part and I did the work myself. I spend about the same for gas and insurance as you.
"Don't buy a turbo..." *gulps*
Why??
@@sunshinenyc007 It will be very thirsty for fuel.
@@sunshinenyc007 550 dollars just for one if it fails and you cant unturbo it
Lmaooooo no turbo??
what's a BMW without a turbo haha
Hey so I'll be getting my first BMW at the end of the month, I'm trying to decide on an F30 or a slightly older 335i. I may or may not sometimes drive over the speed limit 😁 but I've heard the 335 has more costly issues.
hey man, i own a 335 e90 lci and its the best car ive ever owned.. it has a little over 70k miles. i can only speak in behave of the n55 version because the n54 has a lot more issues, specially with the turbos.. the issues of the n55: the water pump, it costs about 800 usd to fully repair including the thermostat and the installation and it usually fails at around 65k miles.. the sensors (this is a problem of any bmw) they cost about 150 usd and i would say you have to replace one per year.. there are other issues less common that are expensive like the valvetronic, or the valve cover seals, it will depend of the previous use of the car.. and you have to do some upgrades if you are looking for a engine tune.. like changing air intake (400 usd), the chargepipe (200 usd) and the intercooler (1000 usd). finally the gas issue.. my mpg is about 14 in the city and 27 on the road.. my foot is like a ton. if you buy one be sure tu save about 2000 usd a year for any inconvinient and you will be fine.. good luck
I have a 2011 BMW 328i & bought it used with 43,000 miles initially. I’ve had mine for about 3 years now. My monthly payment is about $325. My auto insurance is thru USAA & that’s about $100 monthly for full coverage. My BMW has been holding up so far. They are expensive to maintain in my opinion though. Especially getting those oil leaks fixed!
this is the exact model i want it has 72k miles i checked the car fax as well it was maintained
I own a 2006 BMW E87 118i and it's pretty fun to drive considering it only has a 2L N46 engine with 150hp, if you disable traction control you can get the car sideways easily. So far since owning it i have had to replace the starter motor and crankshaft position sensor ($140 in parts and took a few hours to install) A common fault on this model is the timing chain tensioners but mine had that replaced by the previous owner. Its pretty good on gas and as long as you do regular maintenance it should be fairly reliable, also third party BMW specialists are cheaper than the dealership.Mine also has 118K miles which is quite high for a BMW but service history is more important, i've had a few low mile older BMWs and they have all had lots of issues costing a lot to fix.
2006 330xi. About $350 a month. Includes payment, insurance and basic maintenance. Currently has 120k miles. Runs strong. Great car.
How is that good
Bro 350 a month is like you renting the car
@@stunnerkumahAre you Illiterate?
Dude asks "How is that good"
Nothing mentioned in the comment about anything being good. HAHA
350? That’s bruutal
@@marcussorensen5549 150 of that is just insurance. Florida insurance premiums are crazy. Also 200 of that was a car payment that I have not had the last 2 years. It's actually very cheap. My Porsche Carrera is the brutal one if were comparing costs.
Great video for BMW enthusiasts. My buddy loves BMW but got rid of it because of the money it took to maintain it. I had a beautiful 2001 525i that was the biggest POS I've ever owned. Ill never buy another. They're total money pits. You said it best yourself. After 100k they fall to pieces. If they make it that long.
Buy a Lexus or Toyota & they're not even broken in at 100k.
Lexus and Toyotas are money pits because you will fall asleep after 5 minutes driving one. You will miss work because you need to stay at the hospital = money lost 🤣

Just bought mine in may 2021 a dark gray 328i 2010 sedan. I paid 3k with 125k miles, so far it had a fast idle had to change out the plugs that were bad. Did a few cheap mods, bought some 18inch sport wheels with a hint of red to match the taillights, blacked out side markers and side signals, got some red halo lights to match the rims and twilights, bought all black rear view mirror caps, tinted all my windows a 5% and a brow in the front. Upgraded the kidney grill to a newer model grill.
Just bought a 2005 BMW 3.0i Z4 with 84k miles and I'm in love! First BMW
