I’m 19, making pretty good money and want to buy a nice car. Will the car break down a lot? What would typically break down and how expensive is it because I know BMW parts are pricey. I want to go luxury, you think its a good idea?
how much CJ? Also, I forgot to ask, how many miles you think it would last? Something in the 100-140k mileage range at $4000-$8000.
I take it you mean 100 to 140 thousand miles. It has been a long time since BMW stopped making cars that were good to own after they went off warranty. I would recommend something else. If you don’t like my advice, can I interest you in a 325is automatic with 93K miles, red with black leather, sunroof, traction control, trip computer, and dual zone climate control?

Front wheels grinding on my BMW 318i when I turn?
I have been noticing that when I turn, even the slightest, it sounds like my front wheels are grinding. It does not sound like anything is grinding on the wheel well but I am not sure. What is most likely the cause and does anyone know how much something like this costs to fix?
I have had the same problem before. There is a little protective plate in there that is probably bent. As soon as you take your tire off you will see it. Its only about 2 cm thick and is very easy to bend. It is metal so whenever you turn it is rubbing on something else (probably your rotor) and that is what is causing your grinding noise. It is very easy to bend back. When I did it I just put a flat head screwdriver in between my rotor and the protective plate and pried it back so it wouldn’t rub when i turned. Hope this helped and this is the problem so you dont have to dump money into it. If its kind of more of a squealing noise it could be your power steering fluid is just low. Or if its the ball bearing it will kind of make a clunking noise. But if it is grinding this is more than likely your problem.

Can you buy a 2008 BMW 3 series hood to replace the 2009 model?
The 2009 hood is hideous!
I don’t think it is that bad. I’d have to see it in real life.
But generally, making modifications like this cost you money now when you do it, and then more when you sell it.
