        I’ve had a 2011 335i for 11 years now, daily driven every day

        Very good car

        I’ve driven 600km straight over mountain passes with AC blasting, no breaks, and the car just takes it

          I’ve got a 2012 Honda, 2016 Ford and a 2003 Pontiac all running strong and paid for. I do the maintenance unless it’s outside my skills, then I pay a mechanic. Cars will last a long time

            Same here. Do my own unless it’s too annoying.

            Also have a 2007 gmc sierra with over 330,000km, majority of which was gravel logging roads
