My 21’ m340i xdrive was oil changes annually and a new set of tires. Need a new set soon. About $1,000 for pilot sports. Did brakes last week. $600 for the rears. At 70,000 miles.
I’d never buy a used car with more than 30-40k miles. If it’s around 30k-40k miles, I’d say you should be mostly problem free but you’ll have some maintenance things to take care of: Brakes and fluid
I’m on my second lightly used BMW. first one had 25k miles and was totaled at 60k, current one was bought around the same time and is now at 40k. Both have been great. A little pricey on maintenance because it’s around the time when things like brakes need to be replaced but completely worth it in my opinion.
Pretty happy with my PMU 999s. They’re a step down from csgs but so much cheaper even with tariffs on imports.
I got mine in November 2024 brand new. M Sport Pro in Carbon Black.
For starters, it is a pretty reliable car. I have done 13,000 kms in one year, plenty of road trips along with some being on steep mountains.
So far, it has given me 0 major issues.
I’ve got a 2019 with 110k km, have only had to change the brake pads outside of normal maintenance and that’s cause I drive it hard. Most reliable vehicle I’ve owned
Configuring new car I would definitelly go for ccbs. The braking power is massive. But if driving in cold weather, snow or cold rain and not touching the brake for couple of minutes on highway and the first braking after that is basically no braking.
If used incorrectly on the track you can fuck them up. Dont ask how I learned that. Swapping them to steelies now. Car is at 130k kms. The weight of ccbs is good but they starting peeling probably due to overheating them with too much worn brake pads.
Have a 16 535i, took ownership at ~30k km and now at ~80k km. Front brake pads (re used old rotor but will change once I get through current set).
I wouldn\u2019t get them again. Occasionally noisy at low speed, very unsettling brake feel in heavy rain/water, debris can get trapped between the caliber and wheel creating an ungodly noise. That being said, I have 82k miles on mine and still original pads.
You bought a BMW and now have to pay to keep it running and this is what it costs.
