The thing here is some people buy BMW's and don't know jack about them besides the three letters of the brand. Heck some don't even know what BMW stands for. They don't know how to maintain them/fix them and then complain and say it's a POS. They just buy them for the brand.


Is it going to bring them problems? Who knows. Maybe the engine is good and the only issues would be the mileage and different engine. When I first got my E53, I got it because I was familiar with the M54 as a brother of mine used to own a 530i a while back. The engine was really reliable and repairs were doable with the right tools. I would hope if you buy a BMW please have some knowledge and at least do some research before you buy one. I'm not familiar with their V8's and don't have the tools/experience to fix the timing issues, which is my I steer away from them. I'll stick to what I know. Just my 2 cents. Not trying to offend anybody here, also not directed to anybody. Just my opinion.

And most people here in the states pronounce it wrong. It's not B M UU (double U)

In Germany it's pronounce B M V.

They would be better off buying a brand that is the same price but a lot of less mileage and a lot newer.

NO chance of the German pronunciation catching on here in the US.

FYI, the German pronunciation of AMG is, I am gay.

^ I've been correcting people for years especially dumbass "car guys" who say Porsh LOL - I said go ahead if you want to sound like an idiot keep saying "whoa nice Porsh mannnn"

I also shake my head sideways when people ask me how my BEAMER is doing - I remark to them I have a Triumph motorcycle and not a BMW

I've heard Porsche pronounced incorrectly by so many people that should know better so many times I have doubted myself and gone back and checked the pronunciation again.

Oddly enough, this is what brought me to a BMW. I was originally on the search for a Toyota 4Runner in the $15k-20k ballpark. What I found was a 10 year old vehicle with over 100k miles.

I remembered Top Gear episodes where they found old used luxury cars for a pittance. So on a lark, I checked out BMW and Mercedes only to find that I could get a similar year car with more features and LOWER mileage for the same price.

For example...this 4Runner has 99k miles and is $17k.

This Dodge Journey is only 3 year old and under 32,000 miles so it still have the balance of the factory warranty and it $1,000 under $17,000. It is also a one owner vehicle.
