BMW reliability

do I replace it with a dacia?

How about the 128i? I've been seeing some really good examples at a decent price.

great car, but make sure to change the tires from run flats to something non shit

Bmw are reliable is that when something breaks the part and labor is more because of german engineering most people don't even bother and scrap em or sell them

What does Veeky Forums think of the F30, F32, F36, and F22?
I heard the only downsides were that they suffered from more small electronics issues than previous gens.

Thanks man, every review has said the same.

They are reliable if maintained. They can be expensive to own, especially if not. Parts can be pricey and dealership will rape you on repairs. Get an M or go home.

new ones blow. there's a 2mm thick gasket separating the coolant from the oil. All of them go, eventually totalling your entire cooling system, sometimes you engine too.

Older OBD1 varients are bulletproof, especially the 3.5 engines. I've seen them lose compression at like 400k+ miles, but both me and a bunch of the BMW guys I know over here have never seen that engine blow.

I posted about my F22 already, but I'll share some general quirks and features while abusing greentext.
>no oil dipstick.
>no oil temp gauge because they needed space for a useless battery level indicator
>rear seats are too comfortable for rear passengers
>no roof-handle for front passenger to grab so they always grab the door-closing handle(separate from the opening handle)
>no way to access the trunk if the battery dies.
You have to connect power to the front jumping locations in order to open the electric-only trunk latch. I have to keep my battery jump starter under my seat just in case it ever happens. The emergency inside-trunk latch is mechanical but that doesn't matter.
>air hose connector clips are all shitty plastic and I've already broken two
>anti-roll bar ties are made of plastic
>engine auto-off feature is on by default so you have to code it out.
But apparently a lot of dealers code it out the instant they get the car shipment and you never even know about it.
>N55 doesn't sound great. Exhaust note isn't good enough to like.
>panel gaps

The 128i is for people that forgot the 135i was a thing.
