Bmw Is High Cost Maintenance? by cooldng(m): 11:03am On Feb 24, 2009 |
Hello Guys, I have a soft spot for the 1998 BMW 5 Series and I want to get one. The snag is, I was told it is quite expensive to maintain especially with its spare parts and fuel consumption. Please is there anyone who can dispute this or shed more light on it before i take the plunge. Thanks & Best wishes. ![]() |

Its only high maintenance if the previous owner didnt quite take well of it,, but bear in mind that the parts dont come cheap. i dont recomend BMW with over 2400000Kms. does things are not built rock solid like toyota or hondas. but the handling is very amazing. If u want a car that is very cheap and requires little or no maintenance, i would highly recomend 95-98 nissan maxima. i have 2 , one of them is at 340000kms and i only change the oil. does cars never die. its a students car in canada. its very fast 0-100km in under 7seconds with 5speed. i can get u one for slightly under one million, link me up stephenpeters2@yahoo.com Am a Nisssan certified mechanic in canada |

0-100km/h in less than 7 secs? Is it tuned or something? That IS fast. I seriously DON'T agree that Toyotas and Hondas are more rock-solid than German cars. |

Hi, I never used a BMW until Jan this year. I found it increadibly sweet to drive and I do not think it consumes fule as much as I thought. Honestly the parts cost a little more that most regular cars, but you do not have to change the parts as frequently as you do with most other cars. The car with me is a 2002 525i, black exterior, cream leather interior, auto drive, full option with navigation system and all. Has about 128000 miles. I got this car from my friend who was relocating with his family to the UK and needed cash. I have 3 other cars and I hardly use this car, so I am considering selling. Reach me on 08070790095 and lets talk if you are interested. Cheers. |
