Which is why you can buy a car that stickered for close to 100k in 2011 for under 20k now. It’s rolling around about to be mechanically totalled at any minute. This was an especially bad example, but the mechanic really does tear all of them apart.

That engine is the biggest POS ever. I would never tell anyone a first gen s63 is a good motor cuz I’d be lying. I would only get a 2014+ x5m. The engine has a complete 50+% change/update of parts. ---

yes, i also have 2 other out-of-warranty, high mileage, BMW M-cars that i’ve daily-driven for over a decade… it’s like buying expensive shoes. it’s a bad idea if you wear them all the time, you’ll wear them out. But if you KEEP BUYING more and split your use of them between several you end up using them each much less and distrbute the maintenence over time between them. this is not good financial advice, but it is GREAT life-advice 🙂 ---

I wouldn’t touch a n63/s63 with anyone’s dick in this whole group. They are just dog shit engines. This is coming from a 10+ year bmw tech. Since leaving the auto industry and running my own side shop. The v8’s are just problem after problem. And completely forget about performance mods. A stage 2 off the shelf tune alone put the rods are 90% their limit. If buying a used m car. Make sure it has a I6…period. ---

@HouseS2K I wish there was a reliability database where people could get accurate data on cars to know if they’re garbage or good. As a mechanic you’re likely going to interact with a majority of broken cars vs. cars that are fine, so your bias is based on your experience. But us non-wrenchers are stuck guessing: we’ll only ever hear about the trash. I would have never owned any Range Rovers had I listened to the prevailing wisdom, lol. And maybe these become more of a status symbol because, like an old Ferrari, not only do you need to be able to afford the car, but you need to be able to afford the _maintenance_. ---
