• Check out the e90 subreddit for some entertaining ‘this is how much it’s cost me in a year of ownership’ posts. I’m not sure how much of it is yanks buying ropey cars and paying the price down the line vs genuinely indicative maintenance expenditure though. It has helpfully supressed any latent desire for a 335 in me 💸💸💸

  • Yeah, I have heard some real horror stories with 335i's.

    I'm keeping a spreadsheet of 325i running costs, so will report back in 11 months time!

  • Our 525i (E61) has just about cost the purchase price (£4.5k) in keeping it running for 2.5 years. Half was the initial ‘sort everything’ garage visit and some of that is normal servicing/consumables and a tyre or two but it’s not great.
