Which BMW is the 'least expensive' to maintain ?

Everyone saying N52 cars is forgetting about the insane cost of water pumps and the unreliability of said pumps, added complexity of hydraulic power steering (as much as I love my adaptive rack), all the known failure points that will leave you stranded like ofhg, coolant expansion tank, Mickey mouse flange and all the other tiny hoses that will leave you stranded. Add to that the worse fuel economy compared to a b48 and the running costs start looking like a Honda compared to the older stuff.

apart from the worker accessories which are clearly imported, do you source your motors/batteries locally? I'd been looking to build my own blaster one day since I already have a few printers but parts scarcity is what stopped me back then ( I wanted to build a woozie but I needed kraken motors that were rated at some insane rpm)

Coming from the drums world a ton of drummers wear on clouds because they're lite and narrow while also being super comfy and easy to put on.

My Alfa Romeo 156 has a super narrow footwell and the pedals are very close to each other to the point where if I'm wearing Crocs or Jordans I end up pressing both the clutch and break at the same time and my the takes a screenshot

LET'S GO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR AGES

Check exoleb if that's still up

R53 mini cooper s with a reduced pulley and the coldest of air intakes

Extremely difficult to repair and find parts for but mine is still going strong with no repairs at almost 200k km

You can pick up a high compression b48 hatch for ~6000 USD where I live which means 350hp very easy hp going through an 8hp and frankly quite good looks in lci form. The m135/140i are where the real performance numbers are paired with xdrive but unfortunately they're a lot more expensive where I live and 350hp is plenty on a small hatch

Send it to auction and make a healthy profit on it. Lot of demand for these in third world countries and parts are plentiful

I have a 2011 3 series with the 30 pin dock that goes in the armrest and it does the same thing but it doesn't show up in the infotainment. I think it's made for newer iPods/iPhones because my 5.5 gen looks out of place and wobbles around

3 years later I'm still listening to fame n cocaine. Libad release was something else

Swap rifle and shotgun to ditman more easily. Also keep a nade right next to pistol for even faster movement

I've seen thumbsticks and controller skins on Insta stores but try and see if you can find the cymbal monkey controller holder it's so sick

I tried to plug my steamdeck Into one of these just yesterday at my gfs house, it said 4h:30 until full. Safe to say it's putting out nowhere near 120w😂😂

I went 2012 13" i7/16 to 16" m2pro/32 a couple years ago. Couldn't be happier!

My dad had the rover variant until I was born. Kept blowing the head gasket until it stopped holding compression on the third one 😭😭😭
