PROPER maintenance is paramount. None of my BMW's have ever let me down. Nuf said.

[@robertcoyle9071]

You have to fix things before they break. The last owner probably didn't replace anything. You absolutely have to keep up in the cooling system or you're driving a ticking time bomb. I lost a idler pulley bearing and the overheat popped the coolant pipe under the intake. It was all brown and pastey inside. What sucks was I was literally going to order those parts when I got home. My car wasn't waiting. Fortunately I didn't nuke the head gasket and is still running at 209K.

About 20 years ago BMW started using plastics for so many of their parts. The plastics break up and weaken over time. They used to be relatively reliable until they decided to cut costs my swapping plastic parts in for everything they could get away with.

[@giolascala7]

Yes very true. Plastic and rubber!

[@steveclark..]

Most vehicle manufacturers have gone down this route, nothing is built to last nowadays, unlike decades ago. History proves that Japan studied other countries products and made them better basically, hence why many British motorcycle manufacturers went bust back in the day. I still have and ride a 40 year old Yamaha myself.

If you can’t afford to buy a new BMW, you can’t afford to buy a used BMW.
