I bought a 2015 BMW 435i Xdrive about a month ago and just had my first repairs, it wasn’t expensive, about $800 for 2 repairs, mass air flow sensor, and valvetronic servomotor. I can afford repairs on the car, I live with a roommate and make good money. ’m still nervous though about driving it though, Anyone else like this omegle xender ?

If you’re going to get anxious about spending $800 on a 9 year old BMW, you’ve probably bought the wrong car, sorry.

My experience has been very good with post-2010 BMWs with excellent reliability, but like any aging used car stuff comes up, and it’s almost certainly going to cost more than on a simpler vehicle.

How about buying a Prius ?

Same as everything else in life:

Never bite off more than you can chew.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

You have a brain. Use it to solve problems as they arrive.

Don't let fear control you , use fear to instead motivate you.

2015 3 series with a 6 cylinder is a vey reliable vehicle. 328’s (4 cylinder N20) had timing chain issues, but it’s not applicable to the 435.

I work on my car, if needed. If you have time and inclination, learn to properly maintain it yourself and you will have less or no repair to do. Learn it so you can trust the mechanic to not make you replace superfluous items. Unless something major goes wrong, there is easy to find information online and in the forums.

Same lol. I put a lot of money in it and I work on it all myself but at the same time I don't really care. It's still cheaper than it was when it was new and it's a great all in one car for me.
