HUGE REPAIR BILL for my Daily Driven E92 M3...

[@knighriderredux]

Swift becoming the ///M shop for UK KZbinrs. Just did a whole shock\spring refresh, front control arms and underside covers replacement. Not cheap these cars, but can't complain in my 14 years of E90 M3 ownership.

We're sure you know, do the work yourself and save thousands. $$$ those of us who have BMWs know that's the catch. Something most do not say.! It's like anything else, if you can afford the car no matter how you fix it your going to have a great time. But if not do not buy one. They are exclusively for those who know everything about those cars. And ownership is a dream..! Bimmer lovers international.

[@craigblakesley4397]

Great video as always, love your honesty, it would be interesting to see on paper what the overall costs are for running a BMW M3 👍

[@KozyOnCars]

i have one and i'm doing about 230 miles per week - some more, some less. If I average it all out. That equates to 15mpg (city car) and its £90 per tank to fill it up of 99ron. So fuel bills are roughly between £700 and £1000 a month in fuel. Plus tax at £60 per month. Plus insurance which for me at 45 equates to £80 per month. So just in running costs alone about £1200 per month if you had a figure to cover it - usually its a couple of hundred less, but if i go further (do more miles). It costs in that region. Maintenance on top. Every mile has a smile on my face though. That engine is sublime but its an extremely costly car to run every day.

[@markrhoden68]

The e92 I almost brought about 5 years ago was something I to this day regret not going for but saying that by now I too would have undoubtedly be facing similar garage maintenance and bills, seeing others spending and keeping this fine machines going is a joy to behold

[@pb3382]

(brought) where did you bring it?

[@JonnyD3ath]

It’s not too late. I’ve had mine 5 years and never seen a bill even close to this. Most reliable car I’ve owned and boy does it make me light up every. Single. Time. I drive it.

[@jordansummers9116]

@hampshirephoto what front splitter is that and where from please? Thanks

[@ozhoneybadger]

Massive thank you but a 5k bill. This makes me happy I have a reliable car I could not afford this but I am sure its one of those cars that's hard to just get rid of once you taste it

[@JonnyD3ath]

Seems like a very steep bill to me. I’ve owned an E92 M3 for the last 5 years and it’s been the most reliable car I’ve ever had. No bills like this. My biggest outlay was getting rod bearings/engine mounts and rear wheel bearings done at 125k miles for about £1.5k. All it NEEDED at that time was 1 wheel bearing

[@richs7107]

You can halve that bill by DIY.

Love to see a day to day costing to run. What do you do for insurance as you driving a45 aswell. ? Do you have separate insurance or one price for driving any car?👍👍👍

[@JonnyD3ath]

Mine averages 19mpg. Thats a mix of fun driving. I have a van for work. Tax is getting worse every year, its something like £650 per annum at the minute. Insurance varies wildly like any car but it cost me £380 last year and just been quoted £445 this year. Late 30s, full no claims, kept on drive, low crime area.

[@stephenwilson2793]

Some nice work done there, must make a difference. Folk really don’t realise how expensive it is to maintain an M car. But honestly you could have brought that bill down a fair bit by shopping about. For example, rear brake pads are £79 from BMW 😮. Enjoy it. 👌🏻

[@bmwshowcase2041]

What people don’t realise is great businesses that offer top work/service cannot survive on Labour alone. Online shops looking for 10% margins (or thereabouts) clearly have no costs, we call it the rat race or race to the bottom, ridiculous. Garages with steep overheads compared to one man bands offering poor service but cheap prices should not be winning any business but guess what, people in the Uk just want cheap. Germany, US and other markerts do not follow this(on average) - I have family in all above countries.

Some serious money could have been saved by shopping around for parts though. Even via dealer, the parts guys can often help out with a bit of a discount and that’s before souring genuine parts from the likes of Autodoc that drive with the BMW part number / logo ground off. The TRW arms that I bought are all OE, just with the ///M logo removed and shit loads cheaper.

Engine mounts are done when rod bearings are done,saves money on labour. I take it you have not done the bearings. Also you bleat on about high maintenance costs...lets be fair, you bought a bit of a dog. Had my e92 m3 for 4 yrs now and never had big bills like this. Because i stay on top as it needs doing.
