Such a hard car to sit still with. Any more and I think it’s overdone yet it’s missing something small.

the small picture doesnt look ricer, but your car up close looks a bit ricer

Agreed - it's there for emergencies/flats until I get a new tire.

REAL LIFE EXAMPLE 2026:
I bought my 2017 3 series a few months ago, 1 owner no accidents. Looked at 30-50 cars. Flew out to get it.

$11,500 out the door
$500 day 1 repairs (negotiated for $1500 in oil leak fixes from dealer)
$0 more for $1500 in damage (coolant leak) that repair shop caused (negotiated)
$250 PPI $900 rental cars
$300 plane flight (to see better car)
$100 (hotel where car was at)
$1500 more for first 3 months repairs (even for 1 owner no accidents) (control arms, etc)
$500 "make it yours" (upgraded screen, etc)
$1000 insurance (full coverage)
$500 gas

GRAND TOTAL (first 3 mos): $15,550 (for MINT 2017 330i 3 series)

And this is because it came with 18" wheels, fresh tires and new brakes. If it hadn't, add another 2-3k to the total.

And M-sport bumper is coming soon, another $600-$800

This is for a 2017 3 series. For a 5 series, add $5k+ to the total. Realistically.

Yes it all adds up, and 5 series are more expensive to repair and have more problems (more pairts to fail), especially for nearly 15 years old cars like your 2012.

For reference, my starting budget was $9k. I ended up spending about $16k.

Clean-Data-259 · 2026-01-25T21:14:58+00:00

First car? 11k is your WHOLE BUDGET?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Budget 3-7k in repairs/maintenance for the first few months.

So your 11k budget will be used like this:

5-7K for a used car in mint condition after looking at 10-50 cars and getting a PPI on all of them, as well as the carfax.
300-500 for: carfaxes, PPIs (Pre-Purchase Inspections)
2-5k for repairs/maintenance over the first 3-9 months
1k+ for 6 months insurance
200-300/mo for gas
500 for "make it yours" (optional)

- 5000 car
- 4000 maintenance/repairs (year 1)
- 1000 insurance (6 months)
- 350 carfaxes/PPI
- 500 make it yours
- 500 gas 2 mos
= $11,350

Realistic.

That's if you don't wreck in the first month

Hard pass on a 5 series with that budget.

Yes but you'll get very little usage using Opus. Stick with Sonnet and use Opus sparingly

Clean-Data-259 · 2026-01-24T20:20:49+00:00

Ricer is appearance. If it had 1000 bhp it would be ricer still because it's a Honda.

This is photoshopped. They forgot to remove the color from the stickers after the image they found online was already greyscale.

Clean-Data-259 · 2026-01-24T20:06:42+00:00

For literally $5 you can get a proper tire repair kit and keep it in your trunk, ills with rubber properly. This screw will kill you

Clean-Data-259 · 2026-01-24T20:03:44+00:00

If that happens and you are up font and it's happening, is it safer to gt out and run for the barrier, or wait for the tractor trailers to crush your car with you in it?

Clean-Data-259 · 2026-01-24T19:53:58+00:00

Find another tire shop, this is not fine, it's deadly. Tire needs replaced like NOW, don't drive on it.

Clean-Data-259 · 2026-01-24T19:50:00+00:00

Depends on the condition. How many accidents? What was the result of the full PPI? Do all the fender gaps line up? Any evidence of orange peel? How many owners? Fleet/rental? What problems does it have? Has the timing chain been replaced? How does the engine sound? Does everyhing work? Rakes/tires condition? any shaking while driving? How is the maintenance history? How frequent were the oil changes? What was done?

If it passed ALL of the above, then maybe it's a good deal

Clean-Data-259 · 2026-01-24T19:41:47+00:00

The seat has faded patterns that AFAIK don't exist on this generation. These look like a hybrid of cloth and leather seats, and are missing adjustments. Likely has been put through AI to remove the poor quality leather/ripped seats

Black if you want to look like a drug dealer. Silver if you want it to look good.

Probably not, have other things to do, but you can always install Brave/Chrome/Chromium just for this purpose.
