Awesome Drive Exp Awful Maint

No doubt BMW's are fun to drive but they are very pricey to maintain. I have a 2008 528xi. Have spent over $7000 in last 18 months and my car is worth less than that. It has approx. 122k miles, not much from BMW standards. If you plan to buy a BMW be prepared to pay for maintaining it. End of the day you have to decide what matters more for you - driving fun or money in your pocket which in BMW's case is more than other even German cars.

2016 528i Funzone

Recently (2024) purchased a very well maintained 2016 LCI with the M Sport package and 54k mi from the local BMW dealer. BMWs have a steep depreciation curve and I got a heck of nice car on the cheap. So far (knock wood) the car has been excellent and nearly flawless. My one issue was synching up the Bluetooth on my phone. I ended up resetting the phone back to AVRP 1.3 so it could synch with the car. We took it for a run up to Yosemite and it rolled down the interstate nicely. I do my own basic maintenance so everything is up to date and I will keep the oil changed at 5k or so. The car is a bit bigger than I expected and and has lots of room. The handling doesn't match my old 2007 328i but it is stable and comfortable and I have to watch my speed on the open road. I don't have $60k plus for a new 5 series but I am enjoying the heck out of my budget beauty.

528i is the best

This is my third BMW in a row because I love this brand. I know from the salesperson I went to for my new to me 2016 528i that once a BMW person always a BMW person...his words not mine...and it is true. I had a 1995 530i , Black Beauty, then a 2008 328i, Silver Bullet, and now a 2016 528i, White Lightning. There is just something that I cannot explain abour the fact that once you have had a BMW in your life it becomes the only car you will ever want to own.
