It's amazing that you have to constantly check behind people, my daughter had a blowout Friday and I took it to the dealership to get the tire replaced under road hazard warranty and had them check the other tires and come to find out 2 more tires had to be replaced. They had to order the tires and the came in Tuesday and they installed them and my daughter picked it up that afternoon, she called me Wednesday morning and told me the tire pressure light was on so I told her to stop by the shop and I would look at it ( make sure they didn't bust a tpms and not tell me or replace it) and check the air pressure. The RF had 50 lbs, RR had 40 lbs, LF had 40 lbs, and the LR had 30 lbs, is it not common practice to check all the air pressures when you replace 3 tires or any tires for that matter. Just venting I guess or feeling discouraged from dealing with incompetence.

I've had a few shotty experiences like this. Now I'm out in the garage with them making sure they do the job that I requested before they take it off the lift. No I don't watch them do the work, just check everything afterward.

Trying to decide on either an 91 Yota MR2 or a 00' BMW 318i sport. Both cost about the same, 500gbp, and both have 80k miles on the clock.......

Always heard used cars are cheapbin Europe but DANG, $850 for a 2000 BMW? That would run about $5000 here(if that model was here, anyway)

They do not appreciate car's like we do in the state's. We also over inflate the ever living piss out of vehicle prices! Biggest issue I see here is rust. The inner/outer fender wheel well's are usually rusted to death and that actually cause's the car to fail MOT inspection.

BMWs going to have higher maintenance requirements and frequency.

Have you had an e46?

 

BMWs problem aren't that they necessarily need repair more often, its that the parts are much more expensive.

I see that as a non-question- a slow car from 1991 or something that has at least a bit of power and the driving dynamics to back it up and is nearly a decade newer. The Yota is 23 years old.

Well, looks like no one has bought my star wars book yet. Still the only one of the 125 made that is for sale, so my 3.5x original price really doesn't have anything to compare to.
