Default How hard is it to maintain a BMW 325i ?

In terms of dalily stuff like brakes, oil, etc.....

Heres similar picture of it. The one I'm going to buy is metalic blue..

Sorry.. I know this is the wrong place, but only place I can post.

My EJ1 is going to be my fun car and this my daliy car.

And my EJ1 is throwing code 1 & 41 & 43...... it threw the codes after I used up my race gas 103 octane and put in 93 octane?

my bro got an M3 and maintaining it is very simple as you would with a Honda or most of other cars. BMW's are very reliable and I know for sure labor works cost hella alot!

Wow you joined the wrong forum for a beemer. But if you were to do the brakes, oil change and etc. its the same **** on damn near all cars. Now if you dont know how to do the basics on other cars then dont do it at all.

WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? You come on here and post **** in the wrong forum knowing it is in the wrong forum. I wish I was a mod so I could delete these stupid posts. If you know the f*cking rules then f*cking follow them or get the f*ck out. People like you ruin **** for everyone else. Maybe I am **** but if I wanted to learn about bmw I would join another forum or go into the GDD. A BMW is still a car and needs regular maintenance like any other car except it will be expensive. Oh and check the blinker fluid while your at it cuz I wouldnt want you to have to make anther post in the wrong forum about how it went low and your car hydrolocked or something. Just read the rules and follow them like everyone else has to, we all waited our time out as a trial user and you are no different.
BTW...I'm glad you hit your post limit for the day.

Not that I EVER want to read another post made by you but why did you use 103 octane in your civic instead of 93?

No this topic should have been deleted instantly and the creator should be banned. Clowns

Calling me stupid. This coming from a guy advocating the stealing of internet and lying etc..

"i say ride it out but i bet they will TRY to get their money. when that happens just say you have been soo busy with your new job (which is sooo much better) you havent had time to use their crappy services. "

That is not only stupid but illegal and wrong. You should have recommended coming clean and telling the truth stupid.

As a fellow BMW, Subaru, Honda owner, I can say that BMW's will vary in terms of maintenance and reliability depending on how well it was taken care of by the previous owner. I have a 325i w/185k miles and it runs really strong and doesn't burn any oil.

Major Maintenance on most higher mileage BMW's are: Control Arm bushings, lower ball joints, Radiator, Water Pump, Rear Shock Mounts, Cabin MicroFilter to name a few.
