Good choice. Maintenence for me hasn't been a lot. Close to zero for the first few years (except oil change and stuff), and then a few hundred dollars. Depends on usage though. I'm a light user.
A few hundred dollars per year? Or total? Thanks! Test drives X2, and it’s awesome
Per year. You can always buy full maintenance plan for $850 per year or something like that but frankly it's a waste. I don't know the exact amounts, but it's not enough to change the choice of a car and X2 is just a pleasure to own.
It really depends on how old it is and what exactly you are repairing. In general any small repair I can do by myself. For any major parts it does get expensive because imported parts. But if you’re planning to buy new, would’nt worry about that for a while. I have only had bimmers and they are the best.
Bought my 2011 335i new. It has just over 100k now. Had to replace a radiator and fix a pretty serious oil leak. Each one about $2k to repair. Worth every dollar. When you drive a BMW you measure smiles per mile, not dollars.
Buy Mercedes instead
Yea they are surprisingly expense once they hit 100k miles. Every time the fucking engine light goes off it is a minimum of $1000 of bullshit at even an independent mechanic.
If you really wanted a BMW, you would’ve bought it by now. Asking on Blind about this means you’re bored and want attention. You want us to believe you can’t find out the maintenance cost by searching online, so you have to resort to Blind?
A engine valve gasket replacement is about $2200. Do the math. Regular maintenance is just a bit more expensive than on conventional cars, but if something tricky breaks then you are looking at a few K
Get an Audi.
I have friends who regret buying a BMW. Especially if you’re in the Bay Area. Their service is poor and give you the runaround. Every small thing costs extra and were somehow not reliable. They’ve hence moved on to buying a Tesla/Merc/Audi. Even the ones with Lexus seems happier. Sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for.
Can confirm. Bmw hires double digit IQ dropouts for their mechanics
More than a Tesla. Why would you buy an ICE car? You are putting over 1 pound of waste CO2 into the air per mile driven. Recycling is dead, it all goes in the same trash now. The only way to reduce your environmental footprint is electric car and solar.
Because a model x is 2x the cost of an x2?
Tesla 3 has 5 seats just like a x2. The model y would be more comparable, but it’s not out yet. Model x is more comparable to x7 not an x2. Have you done the math, does the x2 have more storage space than a model 3? Model three has a ton of room. You can also get the Hyundai Kona if you want a small suv. Electric and way less expensive than x2.
