Hi everyone,
Do you think a 2013 BMW 5 SERIES 528I XDRIVE (automatic) is worth buying? The car has 98,989 km on it, comes with winter tires and is offered at a local dealership for CAD$ 19,588 (USD$ ~ 14,698). I have heard that BMW's tend to cost a lot to maintain, but if you do own or have once been a BMW owner, what are your thoughts on their vehicles?
Thanks so much!
I owned a 2007 BMW X5, from 2016-2020. From 160K miles to 200K miles. And owning one taught me a lot about cars and how different makes engineer their vehicles.
They are amazing vehicles. And they are relatively reliable. But, and a huge but… they are also expensive to maintain.
Many things may need repair or maintenance like any other car. It just cost so much more on a BMW.
FWIW, I spent more money on those 4 years of BMW ownership on repairs and maintenance than I did on my 1999 Honda Accord in 21 years.
