Two months? More likely six.
I had one Bimmer; never again. I filled two tables with parts just to get at then change a crankshaft position sensor. Several plastic parts broke during this process. What should have been a simple job took over a week waiting for parts. |

I like BMWs, but older normally aspirated versions.. Great drivers.
New ones are very very nice, like yours, but they are just too damn high tech.. |

They have a thing called a warranty where they do the work. Ya can even spend more money for an “extended” time warranty ![]() Why even mess with an European car outside warranty, but an older (60’s or older) Alpha, buggati, Rolls, Merc… it becomes a labor of love |

I only keep Bimmers until the warranty runs out…because they don’t call it ‘Bust My Wallet’ for nothing. ![]() |

![]() ![]() ![]() There was only one though that I miss terribly, and that was my 135is…very special model, a total blast to drive, and unrefined (compared to other BMW models, that is). The M exhaust note on cold start up was out of this world. |

Nice car! My 81 year old FIL drove a '73 2002 for over 20 years and treated himself to a new M240i during the pandemic. Even though he hasn't clocked 10k miles yet, he has the bug and is thinking of trading out to the restyled 2023. My wife and I both told him to go for it, as they still haven't built a coffin with a safe.
