Mileage tho ☹ That 323i is nice but if I get a 3series I wanna get a 2 door This car has to be exactly what I want cuz if not then I will probably sell it after a few months lol. The truck was a rash decision, because I had the 3000GT which I loved and of course my bike, but I needed something to drive in the winter. The truck was the result, and I’m just not happy driving it all year, it’s amazing in the winter, but I want something I still love driving in the summer/spring/fall too. ---

I’ll admit I have no knowledge about BMW’s other than they make an M3 lol. I do like them tho, if I were to get a RWD car, they would be the way to go. If I were to get an AWD, I would lean towards Subaru or Audi. How are BMW engines? Strong at high miles? 100k seems like a lot. Given, It may be highway but still. ---

What do you think I could get out of it? This car needs to last me at least 2 years without any serious problems. ---

the drivetrain wont be your problem. you’ll have to start watching for wheel bearing/clutch/belts/basically the 100-120k service that bmw offers ---

That’s about what I figured, which isn’t too bad. First thing that comes to mind is service cost on a BMW is $$$, or is that not true? I know Audi is pretty expensive for parts/service so that’s why I’d probably lean towards Subaru for AWD. ---

if you take it to a dealer it’s expensive. bmw isn’t that bad to work on though, and parts can be found cheap online ---
