Just got a new to me 2020 M2 Competition DCT. It only has 34k miles on it and a pristine service history with all records. I think I got the best deal nationwide, I only paid 48k for it. Any tips for new M car owners, specifically the f87? The car already had a capture plate installed for the crankhub as preventive maintenance and also has a valvetronic stainless steel equal length exhaust (which sounds amazing). So I have zero complaints about the S55 sound.

Bubbled my damn tire. It happened a week or two ago, and I only noticed today because I was doing an oil change and checking/adjusting tire pressures. No major change in road feel, surprisingly.

I was planning on going from these terrible P7 run flats to PS4AS, but decided on the Conti SRS+ for being highly rated, quiet and hopefully a little longer lasting. Out the door for $1172 after labor day sale, buy 4 get $100 off, and military discount with 3 year replacement/warranty to boot. Not bad, all things considered.

435d preventative maintenance and fuel consumption

Upvotes

bought a 2017 435d in may with 80k miles and full service history from new.

I love the car but I am nervous about potential issues. I have serviced the gearbox and done a full service for peace of mind. Apart from servicing every 8/10k miles what other preventative steps are recommended and what should I look out for?

Also the fuel consumption is pretty bad considering the reviews I’ve heard from others. I was averaging about 26mpg for the first couple months which was made up of both short trips and a few longer journeys each week. I changed the pre cat o2 sensor which improved the consumption slightly and it now sits around 29mpg. Granted I do make use of the 3L engine but I was still expecting better mpg than that.

Any recommendations or things I should be looking at would be much appreciated.

Buying Help I need help and/or advice from bmw peoples.

Upvotes

After an hour extensive search I found what I thought was a great buy in a 2017 330i with 117,000. I got them down to a fair price and I am super excited about taking ownership in a couple days! People who don’t own a bmw but can type things into Google seem to think this is a bad idea and that German cars over 100k are a bad idea. What should I do
