In Reply to: Have you had any major problems with the car since new? posted by Lee M on September 1, 2015 at 10:06:06:
The 3-Series is their bread-and-butter lineup; few problems with the motors, trannies, or drivelines, or so I'm told.
My X3 has been rock solid in those regards, but the small crap (and BMW will give you much of that) like sunroofs, heated seats, interior electronic gadgets, etc, are all nagging items. I think any make of car suffers these. I have never replaced a muffler or any exhaust components. No wheel bearings. Only one battery and one set of MacPherson struts in the 9 years and 227,000 miles I've had it and put on it.
I just returned from a 5,600-mile road trip to Detroit, round-about, and used only 1 quart of oil. No transmission, transfer case, differentials, u-joints, ball joints, ... nuthin' replaced in those areas. That's why I'm trying to keep it. I change fluids quite often.
The X5 (5-Series line) on the other hand, has not fared so well in the basics.
