I don't think BMW is known for their reliability. I like the M cars, but BMW has just as many issues as every other manufacturer.

He's just another brainwashed sole that has jumped on the "anything American made, sucks" bandwagon.

Interesting that I heard on the radio that BMW is offering all maintenance costs for the first 5 years to include brake pads and expendable items

BMW's warranty is hard to top. They cover all maintenance, all wear and tear like Brakes, Brake Pads, Wipers etc... Covers all oil changes, valve adjustments for for the duration of 5 years and 50k miles.

Also, please don't mistaken the M3 is fast, because honestly its not. It's a track car, not a race drag car. Just standard M3 stats 0-60 4.8 sec 1/4 13.3-13.5.

I find that interesting considering how fucking expensive the parts are.

My wife's Mini has to go to BMW for repairs and the fucking oil change is almost $200

When I take my Cobra to Ford, my oil changes are $18 plus the cost of oil

His next line will be that BMW oil is better than Ford oil to justify the cost difference.

I'm using Mobile 1 5W-20 and that shit's expensive even when I buy it in bulk.

I think my 40 or 50K service was like that. Changed all the fluids, flushed the intercooler and radiator, changed the trans fluid and a bunch of other stuff and it only cost me $300 or so

Those E46 M3s had a big problem with spinning rod bearings and throwing the connecting rods through the side of the block. BMW said there was nothing wrong with the car while at the same time redesigning some key parts including the oil pump.
