Loved my BMW 5 series but warranty expired and the headlight malfunctioned (adaptive headlights). Repair cost was $5,400. Insane since the car was valued at $12,000.
BMW=Burning My Wallet
Lol also Bring My wallet
LOLOLOLOL love it
I discovered your channel today as start preparing to buy a new car in the near future and I'm really enjoying all of the content so far. Very informative, clear, and to the point. Thanks!!
Do NOT use the stealership I mean the dealership for ANYTHING. I own an Audi, I take my A4 to a European Specialist which saves a lot of money. Alot of the dealership guys open up their own shops because they can make 3x the money and provide the same expertise.
All luxury cars are more expensive to maintain compared to non luxury cars.
If you plan on owning, not leasing, and plan on owning for 100,000+ miles then buy a Lexus.
If you plan on leasing or owning for 50,000 miles or less, BMW is still a good bet. Fun to drive, luxurious, good looking, and reliable under 50k.
Some day I dreamt about the BMW, now I am happy to have 184hp Honda Civic and it so enjoyable for a car enthusiast:) ...and maintenance will not bankrupt you!
Great advice, Dave. The one thing I've learned over the years is that ALL German autos are very unforgiving if the maintenance is not done when required.
I knew you were a TV anchor after watching and listening to this Dave. Nicely written in broadcast style!
Y'all need to stop crying that they aren't reliable. Buy them low km, do not put any tunes or anything that will over push the limit of the engine and most importantly do your oil changes frequently ( every 8000-9000 km) not 12-15k km... I can also had to make sure the previous owner is a old man and not a kid that was always pushing it to the red line. Like guys this is just common sense 🤷
These are reasons why I switched from owning a BMW...to leasing a BMW. Their lease rates are quite favorable when compared to other premium brands, I enjoy their products, they cover all the maintenance, and when 3 years and 45,000 miles are up......I’m not on the hook for repairs. That said, will I lease another? Not sure. I also own an 80s-era Diesel Mercedes...and I find myself increasingly attracted to the simplicity of such cars.
Dave, long time watcher, first time writer. Thanks for your videos. Been figuring out doing one of the "e" models between used and new. Maybe I just need to look somewhere else. Happy Holidays.
Hello Dave, a hug from Honduras. 👋👋
I must say BMW are expensive to maintain but it depends on which engine you go with I’ve had a lot experience on BMWs and so I’ve change my mindset of which one I would purchase so now I currently own a 328D and having a diesel BMW has been the best decision because this is so much more reliable and fuel efficient and breaks down less or you should go with an all electric BMW would be my next choice which would compare with the Tesla model three in the near future
Absolutely agree with this video.........Lexus probably one of the best options
@@bradleyscarreviews i agree with your comment😁
The only thing I don’t like about Lexus is the name and logo… the L just looks ugly.
People here complaining about how unreliable BMWs are lol I’ve been driving my bmw since the last 2 years and it’s a 2015 number plate never had any isssues with it I just get it serviced every 6k mileage which includes oil change air filter change and oil filter change and that’s it
The only credibility a lot of people have is likes, clicks & views.
I'd vet the person I'm taking advice from 10x more than I'd vet a car.
A car is your possession, Advice is your reality.
People just hop online and take advice from anonymous people and validate them based on likes and views
You change your air filter every 6000 miles?? Do you only drive on dusty desert roads or something? 😄 the filter will easily last 20k miles under normal road conditions.
I got rid of my BMW X3 as soon as warranty and free service expired
Basically, you had leased it lol
I appreciate this video man
Bmw is the best car it is not for small boys I have own one now it almost 14 years now e90 323i I had never have any issues Its a reliable daily driving car and I live here in South africa
So Dave, where can I get one of those macrame artist gigs?
I owned a 2013 BMW 3 from 2013-2019. The car was marvellous to drive. I felt safe on any roads. I only had a few hickups and the service costs weren’t that bad. I sold it in 2019 and bought a 2020 Mercedes C class with AMG style package. This car, although quick, is not as direct as the BMW. I also don’t like the rear tyres are bigger than the front ones. During the process I drove also the Lexus IS hybrid but I did not like it as it felt sedated and I didn’t like the droning sound of the CVT.
lexus always lags behind bmw and mercedes in terms of handling and performance.
@@jimmysantadeo2031just buy an IS500
This is the reason so many people, including myself, only lease BMW's. Turn it in after 36K miles and the only big expense you'll have is tires.

I must say I’ve observed that you now use photos in the background that’s a big improvement I see you learned that part from Scotty Kilmer LOL 😂 what’s really interesting is that I live in St. Louis Missouri and I had no idea that you lived in St. Louis before wow small world how long did you live in St. Louis and why did you move?
I started using pictures in the background in 1996. When did Scott start using them?
@@everymandriver not sure I just noticed it so maybe it’s just a Coincidence
Every car enthusiast knows that cars like BMW or Merc are expensive to by but also maintain because of many reasons one being the fact that those companies are very often "first timers", they bring inovations into the automotive industry and that requires expensive research but also that Hans and Franz that are engineers in those car companies aren`t your atverage payed citizens. They cost. So in the end it has to be payed. Also those interiors that we all like with that premium feel also costs. And maintenance - people are complaining about "high costs" but if you are regular then they are reasonalbe (considering all of the bove). It is interesting, it`s often like children have bought a car - there are available infos about reuglar maintenance prices, different part prices, common faults and prices one just has to read them. :-)
Try owning a few corvette’s, they are money pits as well , any vehicle that pushes performance and technology is expensive to maintain.

I don’t wanna BMW, but I know many people that do. They do not have any more problems than normal. Actually, some of them have less.
go to a Euro Shop for repairs not a dealership. Maintenance is cut in half
Get rid of BMW`s once the warranty expires . They are overly engineered .. They use a very poor plastics in the engine compartment that do not hold up . In time they become brittle and crack the same as lacquer paint.. Their electrical problems are a nightmare .One of the worst used cars you can buy..and you can buy them cheap.
I think if u haven't done it already do the same for a Tesla. That might be interesting?
Curious how this transfers over to the Mini Cooper line since they share many of the same components. I currently drive a 2017 trouble free Hyundai Santa Fe sport but i’m really wanting a 2018/2019 mini Cooper countryman.
bmw or BMW is the best thing for a car
What vehicle do you have now?
What do you mean?
@@everymandriver you said you used to drive a BMW 3 series. Wondering what you prefer now.
Agree. That is why this luxury car is for those with money and don’t care. Same for Mercedes. Like the look but expense is big turn off.

Besides of the devaluation of the car itself
That car almost self destructs itself it is so bad !
Is Kia expensive to maintain
Not at all
in the longer run
They have a huge recall of the engines blowing up ! Terrible cars and NO RESALE or DEMAND as used cars ..
17K in expenses for 10 years of ownership? Uh, no. Maybe if you buy a 15 year old M3 or M5 and keep it for 10 years.
Why are these so expensive if the durability sucks?
Let's see how the Toyota Supra does as it ages.
Can't believe a car that cost two or three times more than a Honda is less reliable lol
The more expensive they are the worse they are.The BMW 7 series is one of the worst cars on the market ..Worse than a Chrysler 200 . And it got axed .
Bmws are reliable, and that’s only if you dump excessive amounts of cash in it, so if you broke, overlook the bmw badge, BIG MONEY WASTED
Great points which I apply to all German engineered cars. Owned 2 BMW's and both were brilliant to drive and money pits to own. Now I'm EV only.
I would be paranoid owning a BMW and using it on long road trips. Not so much from the costs but I’d constantly be wondering when it’s going to break down and leave me stranded. They’re wonderful cars to lease, but I’d never actually buy one, new or used. Like Jaguars they’re beautiful to look at, fun to drive and a nightmare to own.
You would be wrong. BMW`s are, by all relevant statistics among top 5 cars with over 62500 miles when it comes to reliability. Jaguars are not to be compared in that way with BMW at least not by a car enthusiasts. It is not the same when it comes to build quality and reliability. Jags have had their problems that made them notorius (something like Aston Martin also). For example, Lexus is winning almost all stats in reliability but on 100 cars going to annual vehicle inspection they have about 10-12 with problems (not the new cars). And that is a great result but those 10 to 12 owners aren`t too happy and they may thing that their cars aren`t reliable and could leave them stranded. You see where I`m going with this. ;-)
@@donein60secondsnow BMW and Lexus don't belong in the same sentence.
@@EricFortuneJr. just drive a Honda the. Lol 😆 😂
@@vlone_slatt3504 Smart on your part. Honda and Acura are decent.
@@EricFortuneJr. So what do you have to say about the newer Toyota Supra? Huh
100% truth. I bought 5 series for 30k used and paid $17k in repairs in 3 years. Ot was only 6 years old. My wife’s 3 series cost her $12k in repairs for the same period of time. Which SUV did you ended up getting?
I'm looking at new cars and this video just made me cross BMW off my list of potential new cars.
“Check your tires monthly for alignment.” What? Unless you Rally Race 🤪
Lol
Just get a Lexus
If you compare model per mode trim for trim the Lexus ends up feeling very sedated compared to a bmw. Get what u pay for.
This is sound advice I’ll adhere to 😂
Even bmw motorcycle are/can be expensive to own.
After another $2000 maintenance bill on my 2015 BMW 328i, with sports package. I broke and bought a Tesla. I was the original owner, with only 60,000 miles on it. The past 18 months I would have been at $6000 and repairs. I will never buy a BMW again. Although it is the best car, I have driven, besides the Tesla. I cannot justify those maintenance costs when a Tesla requires literally zero maintenance, and does not require expensive premium gas.
Yes!!!
What problems did you experience with your 3 series?
Cant afford to own bmw as a student lol
Were you seriously making 400k making macrame?!?!?!
More like 550k
if you made 400 000 a year why do you have sponsors here, did the ex wives take it all lol. anyway bmw is thought to be the least money pit german car compared to other german cars.
Good questions, Karen. The answer is yes
BMW= Break My Wallet
Euro trash, also don’t forget the amount of plastic parts, deficient gaskets, faulty electrical components. Having a BMW car is like having a mistress.
You are right about that ! BMW`s do handle well .. Other than that they quickly become before Euro trash before the warrant expires .
they used to last in decades past, so did american cars. even japan has its black sheep nissan. its mostly toyota thats left and honda is making some bad engineering decisions these days. toyota too but not as much.
BMW is just a nice beamer the maintenance and service would cost dearly. I rather drive a Camry 2017 it will not break easily. Plus the car is fast and fuel efficient
No thank you. All BMWs must have broken turn signals too. SMH.
I guess if anyone was to ever buy one, just lease it. Cheaper to keep leasing vs owning and paying for maintenance
I have a 2017 M240i, bought new, best car I've ever owned.
Factory warranty about to expire?
@@ttch2911 It does in October.
@@learjet45 Usually problem starts once the warranty expires. Hopefully yours are fine.
@@ttch2911 Mileage. Mine only has 15k on it.
bmtroubleyou
Performance wise they’re awesome maintenance wise made me buy a Hyundai sums it up
Breaks all the time
Expensive spare parts
Why does the most attractive cars always have to be the least reliable? Why can't the two elements of aesthetic beauty and reliability mesh, just for once ? Let's face it, Hondas and Toyotas are butt ugly and boring at best.
BMW`s are not that attractive ... Their body styles are looming back to 2005 with minor refreshes .. You can`t tell a well maintained 2010 from a new 2020 .. They are making the Kidney grills look more bloated in some of the newer ones .. MEEHHH .............
the germans arent all that great looking, looks are a bit relative. i like the latest toyotas/lexus. maybe hondas/acuras are a bit ugly still but lexus certainly isnt. just buy them instead of the insane germans. you do a public service if you dont keep them so others can have trouble free used cars.
@@charlesjackson1700 Totally agree, but I guess I was also referring to Ferrari, Audi (like the A7), Porsche, Bugatti, Lamborghini, and such. All of these cars are gorgeous, but they are all unreliable maintenance nightmares.
@@Hitomaru-shiki.sensha I wish Lexus would fire that designer who changed all their cars to the "gaping hole front grill" design. It is SO over the top.
I think it is relative. I do like Toyotas and Hondas. I like driving them.🙄
Forget about it, I’ll never own a BMW. The cars are rolling money pits. I’ll keep my 2000 Honda Accord.
Thee worst customer service ever, I will never get another one.
isnt this dude a actor lol
swear ive seen him somewhere
No, not an actor… why? Because I’m professional?
BMW = Money Pit
Shame on you BMW.
Today's your technology it's disgusting and your quality so bad, shame on you BMW, you lost the name you should bankruptcy you make that too many people cry because we're leaving your car, now it's a garbage shame on you BMW. $70,000 cars sales for 1,000 in Millbury wanted to buy it shame on you BMW
