Key to BMW longevity I hear is regular oil changes. Most of my BMW owner friends use non dealer euro maintenance shops locally. They encourage you to change the oil at 5-7k miles even though the BMW recommended intervals are much higher. That is based on the higher mile examples they have serviced engines/turbos on. Great looking car!

shame they could not fix your truck! frames can typically be tweeked a bit and fixed up fine. but all in the details. I will say, as much as i enjoy trucks if i had to drive a car a bmw is on my list of a handful of cars id go for. They are not the repair monsters they were years ago. I have a 2020 with 40 ish k on it and its been flawless. rides nice. runs strong and the snooty girls seem to like it more than my trucks lol. enjoy the new ride!

Good luck. BMWs are only surpassed by Audi, as the most expensive vehicle to own.

As some of you know I was rear ended a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I was hit just hard enough to bend the frame in two spots under the cab. Oregon law states that a full frame replacement=total loss of vehicle. So with my current situation trying to move into my new apartment I needed a new car quickly. Fortunately I work at a dealership and was able to snag a 18’ bmw 340i xdrive for a fair price! Thanks for all the support and advice you’ve given me!

Enjoy that B58 power!! Someone said it on here before me, but those 340s are sleepers. Basically a 4 door supra - same powerplant and transmission.

Beautiful car.
Does it have the optional turn signal package?
No..No it doesn't. Also Its Adaptive Cruse will only allow one to pass another car on the right side.

Very nice.
My daughter had a BMW, not sure which one, was her boyfriends. It did not start, went to the place he bought it, he wanted 5k to fix & said they have seen this before & the dealer could not even fix.
I told her I knew a place that specializes with BMW/Porsche. We went, 1k later it was fixed.
He looked at my daughter & said " sell it once it hits 60k miles". He said it becomes
very expensive after that.
I never owned one, I have no idea, you get good one's & bad, hope yours is good.
You said your moving, how will the 75" TV fit :LOL: ?

Awesome! One of the best engines made (even Toyota couldn’t find a fault with it) and paired with a ZF transmission… thing is awesome!!
