A co-worker of mine bought a used BMW before COVID when I was working as a manager in a construction company 2017-2019ish... in 6 months he spent like 12k fixing all the leaks, VANOS, suspension... just to have the paddle shift transmission in his car break... and he was told it was a 10k repair job!
Guy lived at home with his parents and 100% of all of his money went to keeping his M3 running! Nothing more expensive than a used BMW or Mercedes out of warranty.

Yeah for real! Owning a bimmer is a cash sink. I had the same. 1k out each month at one point on each of the cars getting things fixed. Same with my friends cars.
But you treat it like a sexy bitch, high maintenence, but a good ride!
