questions about 2018 bmw m5 competition

20 years out of a used M5? Nah you trippin

Lol all jokes aside, that is most likely not going to happen, the cost to maintain this car is what makes that not feasible. Would be way too much hardship on your wallet.

20 years? Better off getting a Camry

so like around how many years would u say if i did regular maintenance on it and its not an old bmw its newer even if i got a 2021 would it make a difference? I want a powerful luxurious car that can last me some time so im not wasting money on something thats gonna last 5 years

[thorny aurora]

Well it’s a M series so you’re going to beat it to the ground. Why else would you be buying a car with that much power.

So since you’re going to drive it hard, it won’t last long.

[thorny aurora]

And this question is completely dependent on how much money you’re willing to spend.

[raven minnow]

i mean its gonna be my daily and im not going to no tracks or anything might floor it to merge onto the highway but nothing crazy

[thorny aurora]

It’s a commendable goal but it’s unlikely, for any car.

[thorny aurora]

Then get a regular 5 series then rather then an M series

[raven minnow]

i mean 600hp is something different

[thorny aurora]

I agree, but if you don’t plan on using that power, why get it, these M cars are not cheap to maintain. Simply put.

All comes down to how much you want to spend to keep this car going

[raven minnow]

what would be a more reliable luxurious bmw that still got some power

also those massage seats on the m5 😏

[livid pier]

The engines in the M-cars are more stressed and thus less reliable. If you add a tune ontop you would probably expect to get 5-8 years out of it.
If you want something to last 20 years get a normal 520/530i. Usually quite bulletproof cars as long you stay on top of maintenance. BMWs deteriorate fast when neglected.

[raven minnow]

150 hp

[gloomy horizon]

if you want a fast and cheap car it won’t be reliable
if you want a cheap and reliable car it won’t be fast
if you want a reliable fast car, it won’t be cheap

[harsh echo]

civic type r is relatively fast and will last

[raven minnow]

if its a reliable fast car im willing to spend the money but what car is that

[raven minnow]

Yes thats another good option i was thinking about but if i could i would want something a bit more luxurious

[unique void]

Do you live in an area with 4 seasons? are you daily driving it? How many miles are on it? What’s the car fax like? Any underlying issues? Will you be driving it consistently for 20 years? These are all factors that affect your car’s lifespan.

[viral summit]

Newer cars are designed to break, and if you can afford a $60-70K car you can afford the maintenance, but it will only realistically last you like 100-135K miles. Beamers are delicate. If you want a fast sporty car, that isnt that expensive and will last you a while, get a GR corolla
