Financially, I have zero commitments right now. But although I love cars, and driving, I would still want enough to travel and what not. I'd be hard pressed to enjoy that if I had to put in a couple thousand each year into my car alone. That's my concern. I'll likely be getting a raise and/or bonus soon, but I'd rather not buy on the anticipation of money I don't currently have. I'm seeing 228i models go for $17-20k around here. Some 2016 models are just over that at $22k. But the majority of these are around the 40-50k miles range, which is where I've heard things start going south on these cars. Still open to getting one, but more research to be done. |

tbh these cars should be pretty good maintenance wise. The N55 is a solid engine especially our version with a lot of the updates.
Just change your oil every 5k and a lot of the horror stories you hear will not happen. The electronics on the car are the only thing I really worry about but we only have two windows so that's not so bad. But all the screens and stuff. Injectors are pretty cheap compared to other direct injection injectors. If you have an auto I would change the fluid every 50k If you do a full brake job they should last 4-5 years depending on miles. Tires arn't bad on this car not super wide. Waterpump is a big one. On the N54 they usually last till 80k We have better cooling on our cars so they should be better plus I know a lot of people with the x5 who are over 100k miles and never had it done yet.

Agreed, this seems a bit off. Perhaps conserving momentum is not a popular practice these days...

Brake pad and tyre life is totally dependant on how and where the car is driven. When I lived in the UK and drove 'B' roads as much as possible, I would typically get 8,000 miles to a set of tyres (summer performance) and 12,000 miles to a set of brake pads. In Canada I typically get 30,000km (18,000 miles) to a set of tyres (always summer performance or winter tyres) and 50,000 km {30,000 miles) to a set of brake pads for cars that are not used on the track and typically are used about 50% on the highway and 50% around the city.
At auto-X tyres will only last about 80km (50 miles) or about 60 runs, but brake pad wear isn't that bad, can't really determine the wear rate due to the short runs. On track days tyres last about 1000km (600 miles) and brake pads about 2,000km (1,200 miles). |
