That just unfortunate for the previous owner and yourself that have to go through all of those pains. I got my F80 used that has 92Km on it two years ago and all I have done to it just 2 oil changed, spark plugs was done last week and all air filters also been replaced last weekend. She is now has 117km on her and still amazing to drive! I guess I’m just lucky that the previous owner did not abuse it.

I own a 2015 M3 with 45K miles. The only issue I had was a failed diff, it was replaced under warranty but the installation was botched by a dealer...another dealer documented the corrective action....I have done my own maintenance since the warranty expiration.....NOTHING ELSE FAILED !.... my advice is find an independent you can trust....or flush your money into a BMW dealership. Or do it yourself....help me diy is an excellent source of information.

[@zhsome8039]

you must love your car very much xD I think the main reason for this is the previous owner abused the car a bit hard, which is fun, but defin lead to an terrible second owner experience

[@ShockwavesFTW]

This was a good video, but the $1500 for 50,000 mile maintenance price tag is really misleading. It's way more useful to know how much the regular maintenance items would cost out of warranty, since most used buyers aren't getting a CPO or warranty car.

I have an M4 with a Dinen Stage 2 kit. I have only the most minor issues that BMW took care of no questions or issues.

Sup my man! Love the content. Got myself a M3 F80 beginning of this year and was wondering if your car has had the “kangaroo” happen while in first gear? Its like a bunch of mini jumps/jerks. Seems like a lot or F8x owners have dealt with it a decent amount of times. Did you? Thanks!

[@DreksterDeHotness]

Just got an M4 a couple weeks ago. If you have the DCT transmission this is common sometimes especially if you aren’t giving the car enough gas. It acts like a manual transmission. Bmw made a vid on this. Cheers!

[@justiceodueze2897]

I’m willing to bet money the part about the rear diff was definitely user error. Probably was sliding the car 1 too many times which eventually led to it

Is this tuned? DPs, midpipe, anything like that?

[@obidiokagbue]

So I just got a 2015 M4 46k miles. I was looking into extended warranty, do you have any advice or suggestions?

Love your videos! Been following you for a while now. Looking for a new mechanic for upgrades and modification work. Would love to get together sometime if you're having a meet sometime to chat. I'm Port Huron area but don't mind a drive to meet up with like minded BMW enthusiasts.

[@billymania11]

The biggest danger is tunes. BMW configures the engine management computer to provide a margin of safety and reliability around engine performance. The tuners go in and basically remove those margins and increase boost, decrease knock sensitivity and play around with engine timing. You get more power but the trade-off is that the engine is less reliable and needs more frequent service and repair. The prior owners are never forthcoming about running these tunes and possibly you end up with a BMW M car with a tired and worn powerplant. The smart move is to buy new.

Same here with my M4 that has 50k miles on it. Modified and increased boost at aroun 30k miles. Took it to the dealership for misfires and drive train malfunction and the told me the same thing, intercooler is leaking fluid into the intakes. In addition my diff housing has multiple cracks and will need to be replaced once I start hearing a loud klunk noises after taking foot off gas.

Lexus is luxury Toyota BMW is BMW. F type, ISF, all that flash cannot compare to what the M line produces. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Lexus has always had an unengaging drive and too soft and subdued of an exterior shell. Japanese cars all have loose steering and are boring to drive. M is that standard for luxury performance. This M4 screams aggression, respect, and class. something you will never get out of a Lexus. Drive this car and you’ll never want to step foot in a Japanese wannabe German car again.
