@Toyota I'm thinking about buying a 2016 BMW M4 with about 20k miles. Is it still crazy expensive to maintain them if something happens? I've had my 2013 Camaro 2SS for 4 1/2 years and only put 17k miles on it. No repairs needed whatsoever except oil changes and new tires cuz I was out here clowning.

Anything European you going to be paying out the ass. I know they making BMWs to the point where they so advanced that you can’t even take them to your local shop or DIY, but only the dealership.

if your pockets long go for it, if not fall back

Find a local German shop & talk to them. Also check out Bimmerpost and look for the M4 section and read and/or make a thrad there and ask about reliablilty. I'm sure there's a reliability thread.
Thanks but nah I'm sticking to what I know :mjgrin: I'm at the dealer right now about to trade in my 13 2SS for a 19 2SS

@Toyota You be doing this shyt when looking for a car?:


How to buy a used car for $300. I show you where to find inexpensive used cars that need work so you can fix them up and have a reliable car. I also show you test driving the car, negotiating with the owner, and go over what needs to be fixed! This is how to inspect a used car for purchase!

Looking at a 2016 IS 300 AWD. Low mileage, 18000, but it’s not CPO from a Lexus dealer. How should I proceed. Found a few others with like 25-30 thousand miles too. Good car still?
