Thread 28522266

My best friend bought a BMW 320d. He's very happy recently and constantly claiming it's the best car he's driven ever. I do not know cars that much but from reading on the Internet I know that BMW is extremely unrealiable brand and it sucks. How do I make this guy feel miserable that he bought a BMW?

lol

Just say "sure, okay" or "whatever" when he starts talking about it. It's just a basic diesel commuter car and probably automatic.
Don't give him attention by engaging in an argument about it.

>>28522266 (OP)
He's correct in his assessment because he hasn't had to fix it yet. BMWs are phenomenal cars, until they break. They're a nightmare to repair, especially in terms of cost. And you have to repair them often. You don't need to make him feel miserable, the car will do that for you in due course.

>>28522280
Nothing phenomenal about a 320d. It’s a plastic disposable leasebait turkroach shitbox that gets utterly raped by Porsche daily brown son.

>>28522288
Since when does Porsche offer a direct competitor to a 320d, anon? I'm not saying a 320d is peak automotive performance, but if what you're in the market for is a midsize sedan with a small to medium displacement diesel engine and an automatic transmission (for some godforsaken reason) then a 320d is almost certainly the most pleasant one to drive of the options available to you. And if you truly don't care about having to fix your car every 2 weeks, it may well be the right choice for you.

>>28522288
Will you shut the fuck up you insufferable cunt?

>>28522312
>>28522316
Gonna cry brownoids? I see you have been recently raped by Porsche.

>>28522320
Honest question: why did you decide to become just as annoying as the BMW jeet? And why are you spamming your retarded catchphrases to us even though you know we're not your jeet nemesis?

It's a luxury brand, so telling other people how great it is is the whole reason they got it.

>>28522320
Idk if I missed something but I actually quite like Porsche, in case you thought I didn't. I don't think very highly of BMW at all but I can at least aknowledge what little they are good at.

>>28522325
>>28522330
As salamu alaykum Muhammads.

ask him about the repair bills

>>28522337
alright idk what kinda bait this is but i gtg cause my friend is coming over to, no joke, have me help him fix his E46. Freude am Reparieren.

>>28522266 (OP)
I put 300,000 miles on an E46 with no major mechanical issues except for cooling system leaks. There was a fair amount of preventative maintenance required, like brakes and bushings, and two timing services, etc etc, but the only thing that ever took the car out of service unexpectedly were a grand total of 3 incidents over 15 years with the radiator, the heater core, the reservoir, and cooling lines.

>>28522266 (OP)
poor cope

Tbh there isnt much that can go wrong on a 320d depending on the generation. If he just keeps up with the scheduled maint it's fine.
All the horror stories are from higher trims with bi turbos that cost 3-4k a pop and 2k in labor fees. Lower entries just to regular preventive maint and swap plastic parts every 8-10 years or swap em with metal replacements.
My neighbours unmodded 330i has been running for 12 years now wityour any big issues at 220k miles. He's a trucker at the local harbor btw.

>>28522266 (OP)
What year is it? because the chain snapping on his engine will make him miserable, that happened to a friend of mine. Mechanic told him to scrap the car, instead he got the engine rebuilt for £3000.

Waste.

don't,just enjoy driving your automatic corolla and leave him alone

>How do I make this guy feel miserable
Why are you such a fag, Anon?

Tell him that diesel cars are for farm equipment and will never ever be real enthusiast or fun to drive cars

>>28522266 (OP)
Well if it's not great then get a car you think is better.

>>28522266 (OP)
If he's your friend, I'm not sure why you're trying to shit on him. That aside, a 320d is a pretty basic ass commuter, especially if it's automatic. Really nothing exciting or worth bragging about. Ask him again how he feels a month or so from now when the adrenaline of buying a new car wears off

The internet is for AMERICANS ONLY so it's coloring your impression of BMWs. Bmws are probably perfectly fine in gay europe where that's all you get aside from literal chinese gokarts so there's more parts and retards that work on them all day long.
Especially diesel, you really have to fuck up to make a bad diesel engine.

Had an E91 320d touring.
It was nothing special, bottom of the barrel eurospec model with manual transmission.
Had 400k km when I sold it, there was absolutely no issues during the years I owned it, it was a a really good car in the end.
Probably the only thing I'd wanted on the car was Bluetooth connectivity for music because the aux connector was in a pretty awkward place.

>>28522266 (OP)
why do frog posters consistently make the most low IQ socially retarded posts on this website?
did reddit tell you beamers are POSes? They are but that's beside the point.
>How do I make this guy feel miserable that he bought a BMW?
Well you can suck shot some buckshot but he probably won't care that much because you're a miserable human being

>>28522643
Friend of mine has had an E90 325i for like a year and a half now and the direct injection has given him grief 4 times now despite having each injector replaced twice, the high pressure pump replaced, and the fuel tank thoroughly cleaned. Still not running right.

>>28523380
Frogposters should be treated like wojaks. Ignore them until they go away.

>>28522895
This
Just remind him to save money for when it fucks up

>>28522325
Who is this BMW "jeet" you speak of? The one whose full size family sedan is faster and more luxurious than Porschelet pederast's dad's open diff MONSTER TRUCK? He's not injun at all (dots nor feathers) LOL
You all get gapped n gaped by his fully BUILT F10 M5 Competition, by the way

>>28523395
The N52 doesn't have direct injection
If it's an N53, LOL he should have just gotten an N54 335i already godsDAMN

>>28523695
Speaking of getting gaped

>>28523723
It's an N53. 335i was outside his budget.

>>28523799
He shoulda got an N52 328i then
>>28523763

>>28523808
>He shoulda got an N52 328i then
Probably, but he does plan on 330i-ifying it with a 330i intake manifold and tune. Idfk man not my car not my problem.

>>28522266 (OP)
You wait for the first repair bill.
>t. had a 325xi that was in the shop literally once a month

>>28523763
>feminized seeds
Lmao just like e39 and their owners.

>>28522266 (OP)
It's still a better car than most traffic, but when you get to that level of car it is vastly dissapointing.

>>28523695
I see you get RBP daily brown son. Best remember that.

>>28523842
You're godsDAMN right Root Beer Purps daily, little brown son

People say they are unreliable because they buy abused shit boxes
Some trims attract ricers
Generally mid trims like 325i are safe, that's what normal people drive.
But if you see signs of tuning, "msport" parts, if it's a diesel, or either a shitty low trim or a high one (such as 330i) then it's likely an abused shitbox

>>28522266 (OP)
Just don't.

>>28523869
>People say they are unreliable because they are
ftfy
BMW has been a shit brand for decades at this point. The E46 was the last okay model they had. Everything after has been a ticking time bomb.

>>28523856
Nice try Ranpesh.

>>28523763
Holy shit m8 if it's that bothersome to you then hire a glowie to do detective work or some shit I mean seriously man what do you expect us to do about it?

>>28522266 (OP)
Let the man enjoy his car. It doesn't even sound like he's being a braggart.

>>28523979
Where did I say anything about anyone else doing anything?

>>28522325
Hey dumbfuck, THE RAPED spammer doesn't own a Porsche. He's likely the coon with the Dodge that's trying to false flag.

>>28526870
Gonna cry brownoid?

>>28523395
>year and a half
>two sets of injectors
next time tell him to not buy injectors from a scrappers store front

>>28523938
bmw E90 is pretty much e46 with more modern look. In Europe bmws ended in about 2007 when they started making n52 have direct injection. E90s are still reliable and fun to drive just as e46 were

>>28522266 (OP)
if his only frame of reference is a crossover or a subcompact with a 1.2L engine then a 320d is actually a huge upgrade in driving dynamics and refinement
let your friend enjoy his car, you can make fun of him later when something on it eventually breaks

>>28527359
>reliable
No. I'm not letting people pull this bullshit. A car making it to 60k without serious issues isn't reliable. Making it to 100k is the benchmark and has been for decades. The vast majority of BMWs are slow, unreliable, pretty shitboxes.

>>28528651
There's tons of petrol BMWs in Finland nearing the 500k km mark, so about 300k miles, all still being daily driven.

>>28522266 (OP)
You should make your best friend feel good about himself, if you truly consider him a friend. Be a joy to your friends, and a burden to your enemies.

>>28522266 (OP)
You're a terrible friend.

>>28528651
my 400000km+ e34 just worked though

>>28529141
how does it feel getting raped by porsche daily brown son

>>28528651
my e60 525i just rolled over 210k.
