BMW maintenance is badddd.. had the radiator go bad.. paid $4500 for that and the coolant levels to be brought up.

In what world does anyone pay $4,500 for a radiator replacement?  BMWs are Germany's Chevrolet.  It's not some sort of exotic that only certified Tony from Italy can work on.  Seriously, I'd love to see the service order for that.

Thanks everyone!

Believe it or not, I know better than to buy a European hoopty.  The maintenance alone is a suicide mission out of warranty, I get it.  I asked just to make sure I knew what I was saying.

Carvana is giving me a 7 day test drive so I'm gonna have me a good old time and send it back on its merry way.

WOW a European hoopty. I guess my car is one too LOL its a 2022 BMW X2, I currently have 3,200 miles on it. Honestly it is an ok car but my prior Lexus, Mercedes, Lincoln all drove much better. I like my car but I would not buy a BMW again. I get a new car every year or two and this one is going to be my last BMW for sure. Just my opinion on the car. You can ignore me if you like as so many do LOL

Thanks

Hmmm...

"Hey everyone,

Lemme get your opinion on something:

2014 BMW 650i Gran Coupe xDrive 4D

82k mi

900 down

600/mo (apr around 7%)

Do you think I could get a better (or similar) deal leasing a new one?

Thanks, friends!"

I guess I - and apparently others -  took your original post in good faith, that you were asking about buying the vehicle you were looking at. If you knew better than to buy a "European hoopty" why bother posting to ask about that vehicle? I get being respectful on the forums and I'm not trying to be rude, but I am confused why you even bothered to ask the question if the answer was a foregone conclusion.

This is the last service receipt I have, but if I look through my email enough I'm sure I'll find it!! There's a bunch of $1800-2100 invoices in there too!! Hahahaha they aren't great, but nothing is expensive as when I had my Porsche 991.2 (S)... that sucker costs $$ to drive down to Pavilions butttt it always ran well.. just costed a boat load ($550+ oil change) @LakeLife

Yeah.... I won't be buying another bmw for that reason, I did get offered a BMW M8 Comp a few months back at $1200/36m 10k miles not bad for 149k MSRP but ehhh they're Mickey Mouse when it comes to build quality although the engines on them are super good build quality. 

OP, IMHO steer clear of this car, if you can (and really want this car) find a certified one so you don't have to deal with issues and is covered by warranty for a bit! 

best of luck!
