Reviews of OEM BMW parts For Business

My first car was a E46 316i, under 100tkm on odo, had it for 3 years, literally gave no problems.

Sold the E46 and got a E39 530D because I love them. Has been reliable so far, I've had it as daily for almost a year now and the only critical problems it has had are that the alternator gave out after a couple of weeks owning and EGR thermostat was bad.

I recently moved on from a 2016 X3 35i (N55) with a little over 100k miles on it. The only things to break on it were the thermostat and a control board for one of the headlight modules. When I replaced the thermostat I did the water pump as a precaution.

I bought a ‘14 435i Msport 4 years ago- it is the most reliable high end vehicle I’ve ever owned . A blast to drive and pretty economical- other than routine oil/brake fluid service, all I’ve had to do is OFHG, Valve cover gasket and engine mounts.

If you find a used BMW that has been well taken care of, especially one with an inline 6 cylinder, you should have very few issues for 5 years of ownership. A few examples in my family… 2003 X5 4.4i just regular maintenance including new brakes for 5 years of ownership and 60k some miles.

My 21’ m340i xdrive was oil changes annually and a new set of tires. Need a new set soon. About $1,000 for pilot sports. Did brakes last week. $600 for the rears. At 70,000 miles.

Here\u2019s one, my 21 BMW 218 has quite high dims. I regularly get flashed to dim my light when they are dimmed. There is no dial / setting on the car that I\u2019m aware of to adjust this. I asked BMW and they said I\u2019d need to leave it in (which will cost \u20ac300 or something ridiculous).

I had 8 years on original battery on 2017 750i. I replaced it. It was barely holding 12V. Few functions were not working like stop/start and such.

You need the Msport brakes unless you want new rotors every 5,000 miles. Have a 540i that didn’t come with them and was a nightmare until I upgraded.

I don't trust the BMW oem pumps any farther than you can throw them

I bought a used 2021 BMW 5 series. I live in a rural area without streetlights, so it’s pitchblack on curvy 50mph roads lined with trees dropping limbs and large animals crossing. These headlights are dangerous. Can’t see without my high beams, yet there are oncoming cars every 3 seconds. I’m left driving blind half the time.
