I previously owned E90 325i and after that, an E92 325i which both has the same engine (and both blacktop), they were surprisingly cheap to fix and maintain. Two of the most common problem with N52 is valve cover seals and oil filter housing seal. During my 3 years ownership of my E90 towards 150k, I replaced both for less than $1000 at an European workshop, and a worn rear tyre due to single pegger skids, as well as regular servicing. On my E92 that I owned for 2 years, I only had to replace the valve cover seals. Great engine and sounds so sweet, I would be keeping my E90 forever if it wasn't f**ked head on by a reckless driver. It's best to buy a manual one even though the K's might be higher but doesn't matter as long as its in good condition and well serviced, in fact 200k is just the break in period 😂

Hey everyone I’m looking to buy a 2012 BMW M5 as my first M car im wondering about current F10 M5 owners has your car been reliable? Any major/costly issues? I don’t plan to daily drive it just want a fun weekend car. I previously had 2011 BMW 535i Stage 2+ with a mechanical warranty for 2 years but it didn’t give me a single problem! So now I have some trouble finding if it’s worth to get a mechanical warranty (not sure how much it would cost for M5) and any help is much appreciated. thanks :)
