What is the most reliable BMW you can buy?

So BMW's aren't exactly known for being crazy reliable or cheap to run, but if you know what to look for you can get a really fun really cheap and most importantly really reliable BMW.

"After driving a BMW you will not want to drive anything else". You are totally right. I did a "test drive" in my friend's BMW 320d 135kW and I don't want anything else unless it's BMW :D

[@belogical9748]

That’s exactly why im here. I got a 2000 328i with 250k but she is super duper clean and runs great. It was a one or two owner always maintained. I got my old job back at fedex and can afford a payment but want to be reliable and was gonna get a 330i but the reliability is so much better. This year is second rated in reliability. Ive had my car for two weeks it is not my first car and i want nothing else unless its a classic jdm or muscle. My daily will always be a bmw. 🤦‍♂️I fell in love.

[@andrewpreston4127]

I've owned 2 BMW's. A brand new E30 325i, and a E34 535i Sport. The rear gas shockers of the 325i collapsed within weeks of my taking ownership. Lovely engine, but aside from that, I rapidly concluded that the rest of the car was really quite ordinary. The 535i was fast and powerful, but I never really 'bonded' with it, so to speak. The car seemed somehow soulless, and it always felt like a big car. In the end, I really prefer Jaguar XJ's. Bit more subtlety about them.

The pre LCI E90 has really grown on me! At first I thought they were uglier than the facelifte model, but now i like them more and they look awesome 👌

i have a friend who did about 670 000km (thats about 416 000 miles!!) in his eurospec 3.2 e36 m3 with the s50b32 with the six speed. he drove it as a daliy for over 20 years and sold it because it was to rusty to go thru inspection here in switzerland. he didnt open the engine once exept for valve clearance every 80 000 and 2x the vanos in the whole time. only oil changes where nesseary and some gasket replacements. thats what i call a great engine!

[@branislavmoncol8676]

I learned to drive on my fathers bmw E36 318i M43B18, the I buyed a E46 320d 110kw M47N because I was driving 1100km for work every month... It was the best first car which I could chose in my life. I have learned a lot about cars in these times and mostly about the motor M47N and actually M47 in general... Then I buyed a E90 330d 170kw with the M57N2 motor! And I cant be happier because its the same like the M47, just with 2 cylinders more xDD and with just with a little difference of eating diesel 0.2-0.4 liters for 100km... so yes I love bmw, they are not all hard to maintain and mostly, if you buy a one with the good motor, you wont pay thousands of euros or dollars for repairing it

[@AB-jk7tw]

Best BMW in my view is the 128i - amazingly reliable and fun n52 engine, superb handling and still fun after 200km.

[@eugeniozanda7230]

I think these early BMW E90s are an absolute masterpiece, it will probably go down in history as one of the best BMWs ever built…I mean the ones with the small oval wing mirrors and the narrow sober taillights are simply gorgeous...Of all the 3 series, the design of the E90 is, in my opinion, the one that comes closest to perfection in terms of elegance, sobriety and character...Almost 20 years after its release, it is still a beautiful car with a very current design, really stunning...!

I've got a pre lci 325i. The previous owner seems to have hated the poor thing and neglected it until I bought it from him for dirt cheap, after a lot of maintenance and restoration, it's been fun to drive, yet comfy if I want to take it easy, and pretty reliable.

yes the n54 engine in the e92 or e90 335i is one of the most problematic and least reliable engines bmw made

[@AlexandruNic]

Depends I own a E92 325xi with 161k kilometres. It’s a very reliable car that did handle 100k of continuous madness by me and the last owner, everything being stock. I’ve changed the vanos solenoids, all coils and plugs, waterpump and thermostat at 155k and all I can say is that car’s just unbreakable/bulletproof. I do have many electrical issues every now and then as the car’s been made in 07’ and they started failing but nothing too crazy(seat heaters not working, mirror heating not working, belt pushers if that’s how you call them not working properly). It might also be due to the fact that the car was 72.000$ in 2007 so it’s obviously full of options. Again, apart from electrical issues this car has never dissapointed me. It’s realiable, easy to fix and does pull good enough for its age, I’m definitely not going to sell it for another 5 years and I’m pretty sure I won’t be selling it afterwards either due to the fact it’s the first car that pleased me in all aspects. Probably an acid dipping, repainting and I’ll throw it in a garage and drive it over Sundays.
