Reviews of OEM BMW parts For Business

BMWs are super good on batteries. They seem to last 9 years or more even in the midwest with extreme cold.

I got a full ten years on mine. 2012 F30 320d that i've had from new, now got 85k miles.

But I replaced the engine mounts recently on mine (not OEM) and it works perfectly fine. The only part I am aware of that is not available anymore, is the break booster.

Budget $400 for timing and related parts in engine bay

It’s now MHD stage 2 + HPFP and still running strong. I wouldn’t hesitate buying another high mileage B48/B58/S58 car.

Nah you're fine. BMW engines are known for using some oil. Even 1l on 5k km is not much, even the dealership considers this as normal.

Lots of BMW's as they get in to the upper mileage tend to start consuming oil one way or another.

I have had brand new bmw thermostats not work and cause my car to get hot on the highway.

I bought a 2022 X4 about a month ago from BMW. Had it for 2 weeks and got the same notification. Took it to BMW ( I got the warranty) and adjuster came in from the warranty people on Monday but haven’t approved the repair yet. They said it was also a thermostat. Seems like this is a common thing in these cars ? Mine is at 61k miles, bought it used and only had it for 2 MF weeks.

I work for a dealership and have seen many Chinese filters collapse just like that...I've seen other Chinese filters get so bad that it starved the engine of oil pressure which lead to vanos faults among other things....I'd always go for bmw oil filters, that's not something I'd be willing to "experiment" with
