My 2019 X3 m40i has 57k on it, I bought it new. It's been rock solid so far. Just regular maintenance. Hasn't even needed brake pads yet, but I'm expecting that in the next year. I installed a JB4 years ago and it's been perfect.

I have a 2015 sdrive28i with 113k miles runs fantastic. Just drove from Tampa to move to Albuquerque. Cars a lil dirty rn but is a fantastic buy. I purchased back in 2019 for 15k now I have a paid off car. I've replaced my alternator, a couple hoses, 2x battery (the alternator killed one), and tires and brakes. Other than that and the usual top up of fluids etc it's never overheated and never broke down. I have an engine light because someone stole my gas cap.

Try and check your coolant when it’s hot I know it sound weird and no it not going to explode on you untwist it slow as the coolant system heats up it sucks it into to engine so you could be low and not know it as a preliminary replace your coolant tanks and caps at the same time real super easy job

@alexleeteehee2 ай бұрын
On the G01 (pretty sure on most modern bmw’s)…. there’s a little half circle indent on the plastic undertray. that’s where you jack up the front. on the rear. it’s okay to jack up from the diff. just make sure to have wood or rubber protecting it from metal on metal contact with the jack.

Castrol oil for BMW is the wrong oil. Yes i know on the bottle it says for BMW. Read the owner's manual, it specifically says do not use Castrol for BMW. You need FE 14 or 17, just buy BMW oil. Also why not just buy BMW oil filter, they cost almost the same. And buy ramps instead of using a jack. It will change your life!

The B58s are one of BMW's really breakthroughs when the enthusiast were giving up on them the B58s brought them back, In fact Toyota put it in their own Supra so that shows great faith right there. I am deciding between an x3 and x5, want the inline 6 with B58 but some of the more advanced options may not be worth it such as the air suspension, would rather the springs, do not need my car's ass to be dropped when walking out to it in the morning and a $5000 repair bill that hopefully gets it back to where it was.

The car has 43,000 miles, one owner, and all the maintenance was correctly and timely done in BMW's dealership... it seems to be in good shape.

I had the same issue with the TCU were the seal around the fin failed and allowed water to enter and short out the TCU. I had just rolled over on the factory warranty but had platinum extended warranty / service. They were able to put it as a warranty claim. It involves replacing the tcu unit and re-sealing the fin. In my opinion, this should be considered as a manufacturing defect as the sealer they used from factory fails. It's not a defect caused by car washes.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oM5_p8Z9qpexlWw.html
