    I’m always laughing at broccoli heads buying BMW second hand who think they look like studs instead of rubes who were sold money pits

      I always laugh at the non car people who quote wisdom from the 80s.

      Modern BMWs, Mercedes, and Audis are just fine reliability wise. Even Stellantis shit is far more reliable than anything from that era. You’ll pay a 20% premium on labor/parts but it’s because it’s a nicer vehicle.

        Can’t say I agree with you. Maybe modern Stallantis is more reliable than 80s Beamers or Audis, but there are plenty of high mileage turbo diesel Mercs from the 80s running around being daily driven. I personally don’t believe any of those makers are producing cars of the same quality of those 80s TD Mercedes

      buy E46 M3 for $4,000 in 2018

      everyone laughs at me for buying a “money pit”

      spend maybe $200 on the car outside of preventative maintenence for the next 5 years

      sell the “money pit” for $14,500 in 2023 to some 30 year old tech bro in January of this year

      Please tell me more about your car knowledge

        I know you own a BMW because even though you sold a 14 year old car that has had no parts replaced for $14,500, you still think it’s about you instead of about the tech bro you sold a 14 year old BMW that has 14 year old parts for $14,500.

        My man, or PP_boy, I appreciate you sticking up for your car brand… You’re putting in a good effort. But you’re wasting your breath, or fingers. People know that BMWs are fine cars. They aren’t the best thing since American bread but they’re fucking around because people (like you) will take it too seriously.
