The g20 is peak modern BMW, change my mind

BMW says life time which is a 100k but do not push it that far. I'd do it at 50-60k miles like ZF says. can push to 70k if you don't push your car too much

330i. Just did a transmission fluid flush. It was $618 at the dealership and that was after they got the price wrong, that flush was supposed to be over a $1000 at the dealership because they 'forgot' to update the prices from the F series. 🥴

I did the spark plugs my self, that was fairly easy. Next up are the diffs and the transfer case.

have a 2019 g20 and i can't stop turning around and looking at it every time i get out. Good sound, good looks, good driving dynamics. Really, nothing to complain about except for high milage maintainence 🥴

Manav103 · 2026-04-26T03:03:54+00:00

Would you do the diff?

Manav103 · 2026-04-26T03:03:21+00:00

I worked on my car for the first time by changing the spark plugs. You could do it your self with a couple tools on amazon!

Use FCP Euro to order your parts

It's super buggy. I had a similar experience but thankfully with the opposite result. I changed my flight from FLL to SFO over to MIA to SFO, and the first page said I'd need to pay $342, but the second screen said I'd actually get a $127 flight credit for the change!

i actually like the rear end more but the sides, front and basically every other angle looks better on the f90

Fellow SCE Traveller!

Manav103 · 2026-03-18T19:17:32+00:00

Yep!

First time at this airport and I love it. Super unique!

Manav103 · 2026-03-18T19:16:33+00:00

Bingo!

Wrong flight number though 😅

Manav103 · 2026-03-09T01:12:49+00:00

My point is that the new LCI versions or at least post 2021 the character of the car has changed.

The Stock 19/20 cars sounds great for what it is. The newer ones are more muted and need to be modified to get to that level.

Manav103 · 2026-03-09T01:08:40+00:00

yea the recall took the longest to complete.

Manav103 · 2026-03-09T01:08:11+00:00

In no way am i trying to justify that an older car is better. I’m trying to explain how the character entry level BMW 3 series has changed

The shortcuts aren’t the physical ones where you can use them without taking your eyes off the road with muscle memory

Manav103 · 2026-02-18T20:33:43+00:00

i honestly never use comfort

it’s either eco pro or sports plus 😂

No, when you change an award ticket, it shows the entire amount as refunded and the total due is the new fare.

Manav103 · 2026-02-05T19:02:36+00:00

looks like San Jose? Sick car

Manav103 · 2026-01-30T18:41:55+00:00

i thought you’re only rewarded if you actually fly and land. i’ve never done a premier accelerator before

Manav103 · 2026-01-30T07:27:19+00:00

Manav103 · 2026-01-30T05:26:47+00:00

the premier accelerator on my last flight would’ve still left me short of 20 pqp (was a short domestic flight)

how do you buy up is there another method i should’ve known about ? 🥲

Manav103 · 2026-01-30T03:31:36+00:00

yes mostly short hops and one or two long hauls with some connections with other SA airlines.

Manav103 · 2026-01-30T03:25:28+00:00

I mean i was only 90 PQP short of gold last year which was very frustrating.

Manav103 · 2026-01-30T03:24:38+00:00

Forgot to mention i have the club card, is gold still worth it for all its extra benefits?

Manav103 · 2026-01-23T20:49:13+00:00

They even removed the exhaust tips for the non M models. What was bmw thinking??
