BS statement made by people who are scared to lift their hood. I've got an E39 and it's no harder to work on than my sister's 2011 Civic. Just do your research and make sure you're not getting a lemon or one that's been beat to hell (which affects a disproportionate amount of BMWs) and they're fine cars
I'm not afraid to lift my hood. I do light work on my car. I've seen the engine bay of many BMWs and they are filled with cheap plastic. Also they are way harder to work on. You have to almost disassemble the entire engine just to reach certain parts. I would never buy a BMW
I always laugh at the non car people who quote wisdom from the 80s.
Modern BMWs, Mercedes, and Audis are just fine reliability wise. Even Stellantis shit is far more reliable than anything from that era. You'll pay a 20% premium on labor/parts but it's because it's a nicer vehicle.
Can't say I agree with you. Maybe modern Stallantis is more reliable than 80s Beamers or Audis, but there are plenty of high mileage turbo diesel Mercs from the 80s running around being daily driven. I personally don't believe any of those makers are producing cars of the same quality of those 80s TD Mercedes
I know you own a BMW because even though you sold a 14 year old car that has had no parts replaced for $14,500, you still think it's about you instead of about the tech bro you sold a 14 year old BMW that has 14 year old parts for $14,500.
My man, or PP_boy, I appreciate you sticking up for your car brand... You're putting in a good effort. But you're wasting your breath, or fingers. People know that BMWs are fine cars. They aren't the best thing since American bread but they're fucking around because people (like you) will take it too seriously.
thank you for recognizing that the prius is a swagmobile! it's a 2013 but it's still running strong. I like my apple watch, I think it's a better watch than others that I've owned in the past.
