BMW Lawman · 09-29-2011, 10:14 PM

6 years old....98000 miles....3 sets of tires.....a few exterior mods.....no mechanical or repair issues outside of warranty......all sheduled maintenance.....still on the original brake pads and rotors.....still drives like the day it was new. I love my car.

JBE90335 · 09-29-2011, 10:18 PM

nice! Mystic Blue has to be my favorite. Hopefully my 328 will prove as reliable.

As a buyer of a used 330i, that's great to hear! When you say all scheduled maintenance, does that mean you followed the programmed service intervals? For example, did you do oil changes every 15,000 miles?

If you had a 335i, your post would have read this way:

Yes, as it came up on the OBC I got it done/get it done. If one thing comes up and I know I am within a few thousand of an oil change, I usually just get it done as well.

cotmfk · 09-30-2011, 06:58 AM

Awesome! Keep on truckin'

witeagle · 09-30-2011, 07:55 AM

9 years on 325ci / 113K miles
1 set of brakes for rear (pads/rotors = $130)
2 sets of brakes for the front ( pads rotors *2 $280)
calipers $88
1 set of control arm bushings $400 (had the garage put em in)
All standard maintenance + in-between oil change (cost - not high, work done by me)
1 shot of mass air flow sensor cleaner ($8)
1 fried drive by wire throttle control wire harness (fixed under warrenty)
3 sets of tires
1 altenator - 2008 335i E92 - cost to fix - dealer's problem on trade in

Honestly, I think it was the cheapest car I have ever owned as far as repairs were concerned.

BMCoupe_782 · 09-30-2011, 10:20 AM

Nice! Well done.

Express · 09-30-2011, 10:21 AM

75k, water pump and cylinder head at 50k.

I'd venture a guess towards "Oil Change Interval"

TroyDeJ · 09-30-2011, 10:51 AM

I have iDrive and 65K miles, 5+ years old. No issues, did not get extended warranty. Looks and drives like new. Love the E90 330i.

Bcube · 09-30-2011, 12:06 PM

So when are you folks going to start driving your cars.

roundle · 09-30-2011, 12:22 PM

Original brakes? RESPECT! Must be a 6MT, right?
