Planning to keep your 435 for long time?

F82G82AND · 07-26-2016, 06:05 PM

Anyone planning to keep 435 or 335 for long time(more than 5 years)?

Will it last more than 100,000 miles without any problems?

N55Nick · 07-26-2016, 06:31 PM

Engines are only rated for 50,000 miles, then they melt fairly quickly. I plan on keeping mine for another 4-6 years. It's a 2014

My 2012 335i has 60k miles and I plan to keep for another couple of years at least unless something major happens. My wife's X5 has 92,000 miles. Our previous 528i wagon had >180,000 miles with a very reasonable level of maintenance.

I plan on keeping my new 340i for 7 years at least. But I don't drive a lot of miles. My 08 135i is 8 years old and has just under 30k miles on it.

No, actually its only an experiment after driving more than 30 years other brands. Im nearly done with it and awaits only the release of my next car, then the bimmer got sold and surely it is the first and would be the last.

1. Yes...10 years and approximately 120,000 km are likely.

2. Are you kidding? Very few cars have no problems for 100,000+ miles.

Yes. I got the 7 year 100k mile warranty

Same here. The notion that "engines are only rated for 50K miles and then they melt fairly quickly" is complete and utter nonsense. I've owned cars with >100K miles that had zero engine problems. If you maintain an engine properly, especially the engine (oil changes, coolant flushes, etc.), the engine will outlast everything else.

I was being facetious..

RoundelM3 · 07-27-2016, 10:12 AM

Facetious...does that mean "Canadian"?

I'm half French-Canadian myself, and I stand by the notion that the US and Canada are two great nations separated by a common language...

I'll keep mine until Subaru brings out a (real and not EJ powered) new Sti. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Not sure what you mean by problems?

The car as any car in the world will need some work during these 100k miles but these engines are solid. I see them lasting for more than 200k miles

Not so much. I have a harder time understanding a Texan than the average English as a second language Quebecois, let alone someone from Toronto or Vancouver. Hoser.

greekcs · 07-27-2016, 04:16 PM

I plan on giving mine back at the end of its lease. It was rear ended in January and im hesitant about buying a car with accident damage.

donkey · 07-31-2016, 10:44 PM

I'm hoping to keep mine for a while... But I think the stock engine just blew at 3,000 miles

Not true and spreading bad info. The manufacturer warranties the engine for 50k; the rebuild times are often 200k+ on what the components are engineered to withstand.
