Thats why you buy an old bmw, most reliable engines ive ever seen. Huh what is this interesting symphony of cracking and squeeking sounds coming from the back end, oh i think i just lost the whole rear subframe…
And you have to retune the whole engine timing too right cause they relied on the precision of the timing chain so much. But thats mainly a problem on the later i4 based engines(including their v8 which is pretty embarrasing tho i guess nowadays a premium german car having serious problems is just usual). The m52 and m54 are made out of vibranium from my experience and they run like heaven to this day.
I’ve got a 2012 Honda, 2016 Ford and a 2003 Pontiac all running strong and paid for. I do the maintenance unless it’s outside my skills, then I pay a mechanic. Cars will last a long time

Ah, the timing chain slipped out, this should be a quick fix. The manual says to… REMOVE THE ENTIRE ENGINE FIRST!?

Anything before 2018 and was at least moderately taken care of is miles ahead of the new shit on the road.
People have been saying that for years with their own cutoff dates.
I’ve had a 2011 335i for 11 years now, daily driven every day
Very good car
I’ve driven 600km straight over mountain passes with AC blasting, no breaks, and the car just takes it

Same here. Do my own unless it’s too annoying.
Also have a 2007 gmc sierra with over 330,000km, majority of which was gravel logging roads
Old cars master race
