Not you......
Just the remark about being reliable for the 1st owner....This is correct if the 2nd owner doesn't do his homework and check what the maintenance was.
Any car today, if it would go the 15 k miles oil change intervals & lifetime fluids would be iffy buy out of warranty. That's why I also said, that personally, any car I buy 2nd hand, I don't care what has been done to it, I just treat it like nothing was ever done. I was able to straighten out quite a few problems on the e39, e53 & e46 this way. They have never left me stranded, and personally I think they are quite reliable if well taken care of. All 3 of the cars I have had a few flaws due to previous owners "taking care" of them. I am 100% sure if I would have just driven them without taking a look under the hood and under the car, and to continue to follow the "BMW maintenance", I would have been in trouble a long time ago.
All's good Upallnight!!!
