Need your help to make decisions about keeping my car
Hi everyone, I have an E84 35 Xdrive 2015 model and it has around 62000 Km on it.
It's couple of months that this car is out of warranty. so far I've really enjoyed driving it without a single issue. At this point I want to decide if I should keep the car for next 3 years or not, but my knowledge about car is not enough to make that decision. I want to come out with an estimate of how much I need to spend on the car in next 3 years ? what are the major works that needs to get done on this car between 60K and 120K and do you guys have any estimation of cost of it? Thank you for your help in advance, really appreciate it. |

Are you mechanically inclined enough to work on it yourself, at least for non-major issues (not engine replacement, ac work, etc)? That's a contributing factor with any car.

Transmission and differential fluid flush will be $600 Other than that I think they are pretty reliable until 120k |

There are a bunch of things that can fail. You just don't know if or when they will.
Water pump Coolant expansion tank Valve cover gasket Oil pan gasket Oil filter housing gasket Charge pipe failure Differentials or transmission leak iDrive issues Sensors failing So far I have put 26,000km on my X1 and haven't had a single issue.

do the work yourself and it will be cheap.
mostly fluid changes are what is needed, you cannot predict what will break. the best preventive is do the maintenance work. having said that: maintaining the used car is almost always cheaper then buying a NEW car. |

2013 with 137k on the clock. Amazing reliable car. 2 sets of tires, front and rear brakes at 100k. Oil change every 10k. No problems with the oil filter gasket. Alot of highway miles, I am sure that helps. Original tranny fluid, not changing it book says its lifetime. Best car I have ever owned!! Drives like its brand new.
