Most car owners in general are like this since a majority are unable to diy

It’s not that bad, I’ve had 4 bimmers so far and not had any issues. It’s the 10 - 15 year proposition that’s the quandary. One only has to read the E90 forums or peruse the issues with the N20 amongst many other sources. Yes I know many don’t come here just to praise reliability but a car can become a money pit irrelevant of people’s opinion.
I’ve had many a banger in my time.. Most of them cost more than the car to keep running..
The only reason I’m considering it is because the B58 seems reliable and it’s practically brand new.. End of the day a new engine is only 5k, not the end of the world if you bought a 3l in the first place but sinking that kinda money into an old car that would eventually get replaced anyway doesn’t seem worth it.
If all is right in the world and major components keep spinning you’re laughing.
