BMW are aspirational cars. As a result, they are either not cheap to buy or cheap to maintain. Please don’t buy one now.

As for running costs. Sure, it’ll be more expensive than a more economical car. The brakes are bigger, tires are bigger, oil capacity is larger, .etc. This is all wear and tear items that have a set lifespan.

Recommend setting aside $3k for any car to cover your deductible/unforeseen breakdown, let alone a bmw.

Yeah I agree. I wouldn’t be able to tell if it wasn’t the kidney, fog light, exhaust tips. Since I have the car and know what to look for, it’s a dead giveaway if it has the exhaust surrounds instead of the tips. For a m3, we all know it’s got quad tips so that’s an easy giveaway.

Explain the mirror caps? They look the same as any other 3 series.

Sleeper look. I think the badge would be enough.

G20 M340i is just another 3 series. Get the f80. In a decade, the g20 will be at a buy here pay here dealership in the bad part of town for sale for $299/month for 104 months. The f80 will be a collectors car.

If I wanted a Kia / Hyundai, I can just take one with an iPhone cable.

California gas is oxygenated to reduce emissions. It’s supposedly better for their air.

A used model 3 is a great value proposition right now with the new highland model right around the corner. You can get a dual motor model 3 with low miles for $35k. 300+ miles of range, awd, low 4 second 0-60 or high 3 second 0-60 with acceleration boost, premium audio system (better than every audio system except the Bowers system), and supercharger access today.

Have you guys seen the Hyundai / Kia community 😂

What’s the mileage.
