Rating 5.0

Best things I did for my g80 was 1) Mishimoto skid plate to protect my oil cooler 2)Ceramic brake pads because the red dust that will engulf the lower half of your car after a 1/2 mile drive is insane.

Pros: less dust

Cons: red dust

I've been driving it with a Stage 2 tune for 4 years and put another 50,000km on it and I've had 0 repairs. Maintenance is more expensive of course, bigger tires, bigger brakes, more oil, it all adds up but the B58 is super reliable.

Pros: B58 super reliable

Cons: expensive maintenance

Vehicle: BMW

Mileage: 50000 km

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.

Pros: regular maintenance

Cons: new brakes

Vehicle: BMW X5

Mileage: 96560 km

And even the normal things they need are a little pricier than on normal cars; you might need ($300) brake pads and ($1,000) brake rotors in 50,000 or 60,000 miles instead of just ($250) brake pads.

Pros: normal things needed

Cons: little pricier than normal
