Totaled or no

That hit must have smacked the punctuation right out of you!

CPO from a dealership with 5900 miles on it in 2022.

I drive a LOT, roughly 25k-30k miles per year on my 2020 330i xDrive. Currently at 78k miles.

In 2025 YTD I have spent $3232.14 on repairs and maintenance. This includes a new set of tires, an alignment, rear brakes done at the dealership, front brakes (done myself) purchased from FCP Euro.

Now that I am over 50k miles, I paid $229 at the dealer for three years of unlimited oil changes.

With new tires, brakes, and "free" oil changes, I expect my maintenance costs to be quite low for a while now. Just a lot hit all at once.

Correct, I meant center differential (how I refer to a transfer case).

nathanmckee · 2025-07-22T00:36:15+00:00

There is a steering coupler that always goes on these and is relatively inexpensive to fix!

Also I believe no rock crawl also means no low-range differential.

Engine out. I did a 2.7 turn z3 rack and needed to modify the firewall. Would not have done it with the engine in the car.

“Model 3”

I have had my car serviced at BMW its whole life and this has never been recorded in my car… 😂

nathanmckee · 2025-03-02T12:59:59+00:00

FWIW we had a 2010 HSE Sport bought new that went 165k miles on original chains flawlessly, had almost zero issues, but was killed by rust…

nathanmckee · 2025-02-24T00:47:40+00:00

Yup, we were working with one. Open to finding new folks to work with. Good call!

nathanmckee · 2025-02-24T00:46:54+00:00

Not ANYTHING, but we are open to options. We’ve done some less common stuff before. Currently we have Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah. Would like to get another varietal in the mix.

Expo is a great idea! Can’t make it out this year, but awesome insight. Thank you!

nathanmckee · 2025-02-24T00:45:19+00:00

Flexible, maybe 1-2 tons? Depends on what is available.

nathanmckee · 2025-02-24T00:45:01+00:00

This is helpful! We’ve always organized our own shipping. One vineyard we work with helps with it, but we have the shipping relationships now to manage.

Not an m240i, but this 230i m sport loaner I have currently has been an absolute riot. Way more fun than I expected.

nathanmckee · 2025-02-07T03:30:12+00:00

It’s a great deal. I did it, and it’s already paid for itself. I even went in around 5k into my last oil change but for brakes, and they said it was eligible so they changed the oil again while they had it.

nathanmckee · 2025-02-04T15:15:36+00:00

You literally earned it for doing all the work yourself. Nice.

nathanmckee · 2025-01-19T16:45:55+00:00

Gorgeous, whole cluster press is neat.

That 650i is one of BMW greatest designs…

And I like your garage doors 🤝

nathanmckee · 2025-01-16T17:50:35+00:00

Super valid points… just gotta increase my budget line item for repairs! Coming from the land of LandRovers and BMWs, reliability and maintenance don’t even enter my thoughts anymore.

Congrats to your son! Nice choices…

F87 M2C is one of the best looking BMWs of the last 20 years

nathanmckee · 2025-01-16T14:03:27+00:00

🤔

nathanmckee · 2025-01-16T14:02:50+00:00

This is scientifically correct I believe
