You knew what you were getting into when you bought a Bimmer instead of a Honda.

Please, they’re super reliable cars! I haven’t needed to fill the blinker fluid on mine even once since getting it

If you're neglecting blinker fluid, you're sitting on a ticking time bomb. PLEASE take it to the most-expensive import specialist mechanic ASAP, for your own safety!

Sorry, best I can do is collect crates of boxes of parts, and claim I'm learning German

My 98 bmw with 210k miles when I sold it was the most dead reliable car I've ever owned! Bmw i6 engines are legendary, as long as you get the ones that still have a steel cable from the throttle peddle to the throttle valve. Once u got a potentiometer with 6 wires that go to the ECU which then suggests what the electronic throttle body does, is where the reliability sort of ended LOL.

It's an e46, it doesn't cost shit to keep running provided you don't take it to a shop to get work done on it. Unless of course you get an M3, in which case the exact amount to keep it running is "way too much".

I know it's not that crazy but these moments always amaze me:

Never in my life had I heard BMW's being called bimmers/beemers,
And this is the second time I see it today.

I forget the rule or why, but if memory serves Beemer is car, Bimmer is bike.

Or the reverse. I don't know why.
