BMW -by far the worst one yet

I really didn't want to write this review. As a BMW enthusiast for 30 years, I have owned several models, including: a 1988 325i, a 1988 M3, a 2006 328is, two 335is, a 2015 328xi, a 2019 330i, and my last car, a 2016 535i xDrive. I purchased this vehicle from BMW dealer with 60,000 miles on it, along with complete maintenance records, including oil changes performed at the dealer. Since then, I have encountered multiple issues: at 63,000 miles, the head gasket started leaking; at 66,000 miles, the rear spring needed to be replaced; at 68,000 miles, the front axle had to be repaired; at 72,000 miles, I replaced the oil filter housing; at 78,000 miles, I replaced the front bushings; and at 82,000 miles, I had to change the oil pan gasket and engine mounts. I’m sure there are other issues I’m forgetting. I have maintained my cars with super care - oil changes every 5,000 miles. The Carfax report was clean, and the previous owner was meticulous about service. There are no excuses for the problems I’ve faced. If you decide to purchase this model, make sure to set aside $5,000 for potential repairs.
