Little_prince Supersonic September 1, 2015 Author Share September 1, 2015 Not just about costs of parts......labour is expensive too. Anyway, whatever the make of car, even if functioning well all these while, 5 yrs old is time for parts to be worn out, loosen, etc. Whether any major issues that cropped up afterwards, depends on your luck. And buying a used car from colleague may be recipe for souring relations. IMO. The thought of owning & driving a BMW, what more, a 7series, is like dream come true for most people..........Sheer Driving Pleasures! If you want to realise your dreams, then go for it with your eyes wide open & deep pockets. haiz. i guess you're right. poor man shouldn't dream too big. should stick to jap makes hor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer 4th Gear September 1, 2015 Share September 1, 2015 You mean journey to workshop? That's why i said purchase of BMW is a journey. I spend $2k to do inspection II service. 3 weeks later, voltage regulator of alternator failed. No regret on my close to 4 yrs ownership of E39 520. On highsight, i would love to get my hand on E39 525 or 530. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is normal to replace valve cover gasket every 100k km. For coolant, juz do pressure test & fix it up. After should be ok liao. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beregond Supersonic September 1, 2015 Share September 1, 2015 (edited) Hahah.. Lemon is perspective. All BMW will be deem as lemon if compared to another reliable brand. I drove my dad's 8 yr-old 3 Series for 3 weeks. Need to top up engine oil and coolant once every 3 days. Cannot come to terms with that. I think that car got problem, nothing to do with it being a 3 series or not. nowsaday even the thai make Toyota , is not as reliable as last time model, problem start to come even after 3 years, alternator, shock absorber, etc but 1 pattern I see in bmw drivers, is they tend to neglect on their car maintenance, esp those young 1 with 3 series, always can see the tyres use until wire come out, but refuse to replace, ( u wont find runflat tyres for 100 sgd) after some period of neglect , if u sit in a 3 or 5 series, u will feel its less comfortable then a say example well maintain camry . if u ask them why dun fix the car, maybe face issue ( I being very straightforward) all the crap about bmw lousy, this spoil , that spoil will come out if u want to drive a bmw , a benz, audi etc, make sure when u sit inside and drive , it feel exactly like wat that car suppose to feel. if not no point owning 1 cos its a bmw. etc Edited September 1, 2015 by Beregond 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
