For my BMW fanatics: I really want to get a BMW M4. But most are coming out or out of manufactures warranty. I had a n54 before and I had the most common maintenance issues happen within 1 year so I was out $6k quickly. What’s the best way to mitigate out of warranty repairs for a used BMW? I heard geico has some add-on that helps. Also I know about the crank hub problem. Are there year models I should avoid or does it affect all?

The F8x chassis and S55 engine are pretty bulletproof. If you tune it you’ll need to do the crankhub. Otherwise there are no real common failure points like on prior generations.

For all the time I’ve had it, only took a handful of pictures. Never figured the pandemic would wipe out all my driving less than a year of owning it haha. I got it April 2019 so the warranty still runs until April 2023

Agree with MD1 - no major issues that I’m aware of. Placement of oil radiator is a design flaw but not a problem unless you’re unlucky enough to hit serious road debris. If you’re willing to pay, find a CPO and then pay for (very expensive) bMW extended warranty coverage. Goes up to 7 years I believe. All of that said, if you can swing it and are willing to go m3 over M4, why not get a base manual of the new generation?

So, I was friends with this during my college days, but after engineering I feel his commitment for our friendship is not there now.

Yesterday his birthday was there, he didn't invite me, I felt real bad. I have helped him lot of times in college.

It feels he is just an acquaintance now, no more friends with me.
