How Much Has She Cost You?

A conversation between AndyMcq and myself recently made me think....

We both owned french poo Meganes before the Beemers, and spent tones keeping them on the road due to bad engineering.

I decided to buy a BMW for the simple reason, reliability.

Now don't get me wrong, my BMW has over 113k on the clock and still feels brand new.

But now I have spent way over 1K on making her look better.

New paint, refurbed wheels ect.

Just wondering, how much have you spent on your Beemer, when you didn't honestly have to?

My 7 series cost me my Mitsi Pajero 2.5 tdi (paid nearly 3k in 2006!), and since New Years Eve I have put almost 300 quid in petrol in her... I only work 5 mile away :angry:

      Morning Rob Welcome to the Forum As with most cars in reasonable condition and with an MOT it is worth the market value, check the Auction sites and local adds. Without an MOT it is scrap value as it can't be driven some recyclers may even charge to collect it. Reading your post it seems like you have already made a decision. Personally I would fix it and sell it or maybe carry on using it but then I do all my own maintenance on our cars and its a hobby not a chore Dave

      Morning Joe Not sure about "nothing urgent" one can stop the car starting at all, and the other could indicate overheating that could end in a broken engine !!! Dave

      Morning Clifford Welcome to the Forum If you are not aware take a look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box, it will bring up your model then look in the Exhaust section The only part I am aware of BMW call a "fixing Bow" it goes on the rear silencer flap actuator assembly Good luck Dave

      Resonator assembly clip

      I am new to site and just bought a used 2017 330i xdrive. I was going through the engine trying to get to know it a little and I found a resonator assembly clip sitting near the resonator but connected to nothing so I’m trying to figure out where it goes? There is already one connected to the intake tubes so I can’t figure out where it went or where it goes? 13-71-8-637-816 - Resonator Assembly Clip 2017-2023 BMW | Braman BMW & MINI Parts.pdf
