I really love those kind of stories. Seeing someone who actually uses these cars everyday is absolutely amazing 👍. And futhermore it shows, that regular maintenance is the key. If you keep everything tidy even a car like the E92 M3 can be just as reliable as any other vehicle.
@jamesdanton9033 Жыл бұрын
You have got to be joking. These cars, and I mean BMW's, are built to fail in so many little, expensive ways. I have it from the mouths of the engineers themselves. I even spoke with an engineer at ZF (who was kind enough to send me a repair manual for a transmission I had no hope of fixing myself) and he told me they can almost exactly pinpoint when things will fail. This was due to the fact that they did keep failing at an alarming rate and cost a fortune to fix when I wasn't being outright swindled by dealerships actually CAUSING issues. I have dozens of stories. I owned twelve BMW's, from the 1 series up to two M cars, E60 M5 and E36 M3 Evo II Convertible. All of them were unreliable rot boxes. I have also owned more than 12 Alfa Romeo's. Guess which I drive now and don't leave me stranded?

Mileage is irrelevant. Maintenance is the most important. Personally I'd rather buy a 100k with a record of work than a 50k with some oil change stamps. At 100k all the bits that are gonna fail will have already failed and been fixed. At 50k it's gonna cost you.

Good maintenance and serviced regularly, and using the same dealership from day 1 is smart move as he's built up that relationship and most importantly the trust in mechanics who know the car inside out by now. And like most vehicles if they not abused or thrashed within a inch of it's life then regularly find they will last donkeys years. doubt it's ever been bounced off the limiter or the brakes stamped on and glowing😮, I'd happily buy this m3👍

Awesome testament to the engineering - and a manifest that a BMW can, if cared for, achieve great numbers. Just bought a 2012 F11 530d xDrive two weeks ago here in Latvia - with 274 000 kms on the clock - but in a surprisingly fresh and unmolested state (came from Austria and was owned by an arab, no less) - hoping that my bimmer, due to regular care and maintenance (have replaced the temporary "cheaper" 5W30 immediatetely after the purchase - will replace oil - and filter - once again with the prescribed Castrol oil after a week for another 7-10 000 (not 30 000 as BMW recommends)) - also can run far into the 300 000 territory. Thanks for the video - and to the owner for letting you film his baby - best of luck from Latvia.
