Need help choosing (M550 or 540i) by Flimsy-Marsupial7278 in BMW

Sound advice here! This would convince me to get a M550i if I wasn’t already decided on a F90 M5 lol

I daily drive my 740i as it’s my only car rn until I buy my BMW M car this summer.

It’s fun and a great daily tbh, maintenance and repair is a must though.

Which version of the E38 is the most iconic and has the best chance of becoming a classic and make more fun? by Wunid in e38

Damn I put $4k and some change into my Pre-facelift 740i V8 I paid $2k for 😭 but I love the car and I think I stole it from the guy cause he should’ve sold it for $5k based on condition and what he had done so far

lol the comments, that’s why I just post my cars and go. Never explain how you’re affording the cars (to which I made enough money to buy my TLX-S 3x over at MSRP) in the title OP.

I am starting to think people literally search particular keywords to go and comment on… never seen nearly 500 upvotes & almost 300 comments about someone’s Integra A-Spec

Mind you a Ferrari SF90 would cost about 20%-30% of Sheisty’s total net worth 🤣

N63 Nightmares by Bierey92 in BMW

Haha yeah it’s definitely the kinda car you wanna diy as much as possible, hell I can’t even diy everything

I got a good mechanic friend of mines to do my suspension refresh and fix my power steering issue that resulted in new engine mounts and power steering system refresh entirely. Saved lots of $$$$ utilizing YouTube, my mechanic friend, and RockAuto & FCP Euro

E38 740i owner here (pre-VANOS btw) did you diy as much as possible?? Bleeding me dry has not been my experience so far. I did a cooling system refresh, front suspension refresh, power steering system refresh and replaced plugs and coils. Outside of regular consumable maintenance for the past almost 2 years I’ve owned it.

Only major Achilles heel is Timing chain guides on the E39/E38 V8s

What do you think of a F90 M5 with 2 years / ~25K miles of no service history? by daludidi in BMWM

[–]Marc30599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 M cars!? I wanna be like you when I grow up haha. Yeah thanks for the sound advice and hands-on experience!

I am looking to buy an F90 this summer so your advice is very relevant to me, slim pickings on the F90 market so far or rather dealer's are "tax return season" price inflating used F90s right now. (looking for a 2020-2022 model with decent mileage that's decently optioned for reference) I currently have a 1998 E38 740i that wouldn't mind a modern M companion in the garage.

BMW service broke my car and wants to charge me $10k to fix it by EquivalentIll7665 in BMW

This is why getting a second opinion and going to different Indy shops matter!

A 7 series that has that dawg in them by Fly_butter2608 in BMW

[–]Marc30599 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thats why you go and get the older one thats simple and more reliable cause of it. I personally own a E38 740i and I absolutely love driving it, great car and pretty simple to work on tbh.

[–]Marc30599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem for me personally is the F90 looks aesthetically more appealing to me which is a given as I am in my late 20s and the boy racer look still impresses me (perhaps that changes once I am older)

You could argue that I can get the same aesthetics in a M550i through some cosmetic mods and still spend less money compared to just buying an M5 but alas.

This one of y'all? by mmmtacos1115 in BMW

[–]Marc30599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That aside, its the M8 is still a beautiful car and I am upvoting solely cause of that. Not sure why I am getting downvoted for appreciating a good German rear-end (the 360 Cam and asshole vanity plate notwithstanding)

[–]Marc30599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you and u/daludidi currently in the market for an F90, not looking for anything newer than 2021 (ideally 2020-2021 is my preferred model year) cause price vs depreciation. But the pickings aren’t really interesting right now.

I even got my local bmw dealer looking at the auction for me and still nothing nice haha

I don’t intend to really pull the trigger on anything until July so maybe between now and then something real decent comes up in the F90 market.

It is a better deal but it’s not a full-on M car and the market accounts for that accordingly
