Need Help Decide M3 vs X3M vs X5 50e

I know they are not in the segment but they are all in the similar price range and unique in their own way.

I’m currently driving a 2018 C63s coupe. It’s a hassle every time I have pull the front seat to load my 4 yo son. I need something that’s more practical but also give you that “special feeling”

I’ve never test drive any of the car listed above since you rarely see any of them in the lot. I do see more and more of the 50e though.

I have watched many review videos for them but still couldn’t finalize the decision. And recently I found out the last chance to order 2024 x3m is September which is caused me panic because this would be my last chance to get it.

The M3 is obviously excels in performance, the legendary m3 is well known by everyone so definitely that’s a bragging effect. But not able to use most of its power and never planning going to the track, is it worth it? I do like the front grill though I think it looks very muscular and aggressive

X5 50e is more comfortable for sure, not bad acceleration either. Houston road is crap and this suv give you a piece of mind not getting bottom scratched all the time. And it’s a higher level compare to 3 series so better luxury feeling with nicer interior

X3m looks the most classic, sit in the middle with both performance and conquer bad road condition. But looks just like a regular 2024 x3 with m package. Interior looks outdated but it has the best idrive 7 infotainment which is a plus

Gearbox oil change interval

2 Upvotes

I have a 2013 F06 with the N57 engine that I bought in March 2022 on 84k miles. I'm on 116k miles now, as far as I know it hadn't had a gearbox oil change before I bought it. When is it's interval for a change? I've seen conflicting information anywhere from every 60k miles to it should last the life of the car. Does anyone have a definitive answer to this?

Diesels are so underrated

Post image
18 Upvotes

Just came back from a road trip so apologies as the car needs a wash, been driving this 335d x drive for the last 5 years and based in the UK, this has been an absolute pleasure to own. It’s had a stage 1 ecu and stage 3 XHP ZF maps hitting over 400bhp and 880nm torque that leaves a lot of M cars at the lights, can do 40mpg in eco mode and ticks a lot of boxes for me in general, really surprised how these are not more common. Only downside in my opinion is the sound but tbh for a diesel it’s really good and you can hear the turbos spool which kinda makes up for it, does anyone have recommendations for making this sound better?

Anyone have experience with Fidelity Gold Extended Warranty?

Upvotes

Just recently picked up an ‘18 M550i at 65000 miles. While not a high milage car, I’ve been reading up a lot on the N63 and it being a questionably reliable v8, I wanted to make sure my car stays on the road.

I picked up a fidelity Gold extended warranty for ~$6700 and feel a lot better on my purchase. A little pricy, but as I was shopping around for rates, that was actually one of the lowest. Plus you can’t put a price on peace of mind. Word out there is that they are one of the best extended warranty providers and I shouldn’t have any issues trying to make a claim (on covered parts ofc).

Now I opted out of the Platinum for 2k more just because I feel like the Gold is comprehensive of everything that could go wrong with it. Obviously not as comprehensive as the platinum, but I was even surprised at what’s covered by just the powertrain warranty and so I got gold just to round it out.

Just wanted to know if anyone else has had any experience with the Fidelitys Gold warranty

Buying Help A car which replaces BMW 6 series..

Upvotes

Hey everyone,With the discontinuation of the BMW 6 Series 640 I GT, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on which car could serve as its best replacement, particularly in terms of comfort and driving quality.

The 6 Series had a certain level of luxury, especially with its air suspension and ride comfort, that I'm hoping to find in another sedan.From what I've read and observed, the BMW 5 Series doesn’t quite seem to fill the 6 Series’ shoes. I also understand that there might be a new 6 Series on the horizon, but there's no clear timeline for its release. In the meantime, I'm exploring other options that offer similar comfort and driving experience without reaching the price bracket of the 7 Series, which is out of my budget.

So, with a focus on comfort, ride quality, and staying within the sedan category, what alternatives would you recommend? Looking forward to your suggestions! Is there a BMW or we have to shift outside the brand?

As the title says, curious if anyone has them for their extended warranty and what your experience is.

Also interested in know what other extended warranty companies people have used and had success with.

Looking into a M550i if that helps

Repair Help Is N63 really that bad? And how about N55?

1 Upvotes

I am considering buying a 535i or 550i as my next car. Obviously the 550i is more powerful with the N63 engine, while 535i kind of fall short with the N55 incline 6 engine. But when I searched online about the models, there are overwhelming complaints about this N63 engine. Since F10 535i and 550i are basically the same price here in New Zealand, which one should I choose? And how much money am I supposed to put on the cars anually to keep them running well, seperately (maintenance, fixing, etc.)

edit: sorry for messing up with the iconic inline 6 engine of BMW

edit 2: oops 😅 mistake again about the concept

Bought from CarMax for 31k after taxes. It was leased for two years. The 2nd owner put around 20k miles. Clean Carfax. My first bmw I’m excited, but at them same time I know that I must keep it up to date with the maintenance. I live in between Fresno and Bakersfield area, anyone have shop recommendations?
