Why are BMW's v8's cheap? the BMW 540i MMW's are pretty cheap
it makes me think they cause a lot of issues

2018, i have set my eyes on BMW's, but i don't know what to get? im saving lots for 2018, i just want a Gangster Ride this year, What should i get? I also don't care if manual or auto

But i just want a BMW, what should i look for?

actually thread update

Why are Bmw's so cheap? give me a quick run down i just want a GANGSTER RIDE to drive slow and cruise in and look cool playing BOOM BAP new york hip hop

neglect them, they'll bankrupt you
keep up with maintenance, takes time and cash
most people aren't willing to put the time in

because they cost the amount you paid for it yearly to keep it running. I used to have an e30 I bought for 3500, put near 10gs into it before I gave up and sold it for 2500 with it needing another 3-4k in work..

Wow these things really tanked in value over the past couple of years.

I remember looking at manual M package 540i's two or three years ago and decent ones were going for $8000 - $10,000.

Now I hardly see any above $4000.

>because they cost the amount you paid for it yearly to keep it running.

Not really I've only put 2k into the 540i I've had for the last 3 years, including tires for maintence, probably another 2 grand on upgrades in suspension.

> I used to have an e30 I bought for 3500, put near 10gs into it

You got robbed or you're an idiot if even if you replaced the engine and suspension and the fuel system, you probably only come out to 3 grand.

at this point i wouldn't bother unless it's had its timing chain guides replaced already

>I just want a GANGSTER RIDE to drive slow and cruise in
Then why bother with the V8? Clapped out BMWs arent gangster anyways. Get an old clapped out Benz instead

Found the badgewhore. You are aware that people with money and brains will laugh at you?

i'll sell you my 540i for 2.4k euros
