@marks90004 from what i heard from a friend of mine, even under warranty they tend to act up. he got his brand new and after around a year or so it was making a weird rattling noise. not the irritating type just a click or something every few minutes or so type. he took it back to the service center, they say no problem. sound still there. since the drive and handling is not affected he just chalk it up to the car singing him the song of its people and ignores it.

No leaks of any kind, no timing chain issue, no other coolant system problems, no brake problems. Only oil changes, tires, batteries, brake fluid flush per maintenance schedule. I do change the oil more frequently than BMW recommends, but that’s it. Haven’t even replaced brake pads yet.

[@peepstar8773]

Nobody is calling a 4cylinder bmw the ultimate driving machine - at least I hope not. The newer (and cooler) bmws are very reliable. BMW is now ranked 3rd in reliability, much due to their B58 and S58 motors that are being put it the M2 M3 M4 and all the 40is. Regardless, if you want to drive a reliable camry thats 100% totally fine, but the people who buy unreliable cars, buy them because its worth it. Mclarens spend half the year in the shop

Person that bought a used 4 cylinder turbo 228i here. I'm very upfront with people about how much I've spent on maintenance. Valve cover gasket leak, vacuum line, plus new brake pads and rotors (carbon ceramic brakes need both at the same time) were absolutely not cheap. The staggered tires won't be cheap to replace either, and it drinks premium fuel faster than I thought it would. Fortunately my car is a 2015 so it doesn't have timing chain issues, and the previous owner (my dad) properly maintained it. I've spent more on maintenance and operation than any other car. If it wasn't a convertible with amazing handling, I would have gotten something like a Honda or Toyota. It's just too fun to drive.

I owned 3 BMWS and 2 Camrys and I learned that the German engineering is you have to do and follow the all manufacture requirements like doing certain maintenance at certain mileage or replace certain part at certain time no matter how expensive it is you have to do all that no matter how expensive it is unlike Japanese engineering it’s designed to benefit the public and how the car still runs in it’s worst conditions ever because you might not be close to home or a repair shop near … but the ride and the performance in bmw is a lot better than Toyota by a lot but of course everything comes with a price .

The drive home was great and I’m still driving it . One of the injectors was a little bit growly when cold so I added some injector cleaner fluid to a full tank of petrol .

I have an x6 2016 and my friend has a 2015 x5 and no issues with 300k km and 150k km. No issues at all. Planning on keeping mine for another 10 years. The inline 6 paired with zf 8 transmission makes it bulletproof. My wife’s 2011 lx570 had more problems than my x6. I thought it would be the other way around 😂

BMW wanted to charge me over $7,000 to replace my turbos and for a tune-up on my 2009 335i I fixed my problem by getting a 2015 Camry 😂

That is true, have you ever done a valve stem seal change? The seals cost 40 buck, the tools cost 500-1000 buck. Will probably take you a few days if you havent done one before. Valve stem seals are notoriously bad on the n46 engines. If you accidentally drop the stem into the cylinder or didnt change the colar bolt and it snap LOL!!. Yep do it yourself. I've done repaired the seals myself but it wasnt a one day job. For someone who doesn't know much about cars, or repairs and don't have the time or money, stay away from bmw.

I feel like the worst your experience with your own X5, the harsher your BMW comments have become over time. The newer generation of 4 and 6 cylinder BMW’s are fairly reliable if maintained. Don’t buy a V8.

[@ECPP]

I totally agree and I have also created videos on that topic. The b58 and B48 engines, while not perfect, do put out more power and so far appear to be leagues more reliable than the old n54 and even better than the older n55. V8 in the n63 is fun, but a pricey little so and so for the long term. Lease or sell after 3 years only.

They didn’t just take the b58 straight from bmw and put it into the Supra, Toyota did testing and modified it to the standard of Toyota which is number 1 in reliability, and the b58 was already known as a good engine maybe there will be buyer’s remorse
