OWNING & DAILY DRIVING A HIGH-MILEAGE BMW M4 - THE REALITY

[@ronnie2k685]

Had my f82 since 2016 with 0miles. Now I have roughly 106k on the dash and no issues at all. Been the most reliable m car I’ve ever owned.

[@YourFriendlyTrader]

I picked up a 2018 M3 last November with 80,000 miles for a pretty sweet deal. The car exterior had a couple scratches and interior at a really good condition, the only thing that had some wear is the steering wheel and just a little bit on the driver seat. The engine light came on after a month but it was only a malfunctioning MAF sensor after I installed aftermarket intakes other than that this car has been giving me 0 issues, best car Iven ever owned. If you're thinking about doing it JUST DO IT its so worth. (tip: Dont get repairs at the BMW dealership they are scammers, find a small business that specializes in these type of cars, it'll save you so much money.)

[@f82kalikiano]

Hell yea bro! Thats what I like to hear!

[@joshg4222]

Love my F83. I’ve had it since 30k miles. I now have 90k on it. Have had to do some repairs along the way but mostly through warranty. Still puts a smile on my face especially because she’s paid off.

116k that's impressive!! I bought my M3 nearly 2yrs ago with roughly 68k on the odometer and as of today I'm sitting right at 100k!! in your video you made a lot of good points of what to expect when driving a high mileage performance vehicle. I like your saying "Maintenance over Mods!!", no truer words have been spoken. Since purchasing my vehicle I have been very proactive when dealing with maintenance. Granted I've done a couple of mods to the vehicle but I always put maintenance first. Love videos keep it up and Mahalo brah!!

[@f82kalikiano]

yessah! i definitely learned my experience with not doing maintenance first in my previous BMWs. After a little growing up I learned to be more patient with the mods and do the maintenance first lol. More life to come out of your M3! Mahalo for the kind words!🤙🏾

[@Sheckles]

Just hit 63K on mine, bought it in may at 52K miles for a STEAL. It's been a blast to drive but I've had a fair share of maintenance.. Control arms, oil filter housing gasket, oil pan gasket, went stage 1 with GTS DCT and bunch of coding. Absolutely love it.

[@f82kalikiano]

hell yeah! these cars are always fun! lowkey doing the maintenance are also fun cause you know they’ll be more reliable after!

[@IonatandinMizil]

How much did you get it for ?

[@Abercrombemonkey]

I was at the dealership couple of days ago for a free checkup. 2015 m4 DCT 90k miles, quoted me $9900 for the same thing. Oil pan gasket, $3600, oil filter housing gasket $600, 2 front control arms $1200, rear diff and right axle seal $2700. Changing 3 belts up front almost $1600 I know that with a independent guy it's probably half but still 😅😅. Had this car 4 years at 50k miles, drove it hard for 40k, stage 2 E85 catless , equal length midpipes, afe intakes, xhp stage 3 transmission tune, and a crank bolt capture plate on crankhub.

High mileage is a scare tactic dealers used to under value people's car on trade in, the opposite of the former is used when advertising cars, I have seen and worked on cars with low mileage and LOTS of problems, cars with avg use and lots of problems, and high miles and lots of problems, but all of those 3 elements I've seen on with cars without problems, SERVICE HISTORY MATTERS. PERIOD, and preparing for replacement of parts is necessary, you cant just own a low mileage car and feel safe.
