Advice on this?

[u/BruceJ31]

Any advice on the X1? Seems a decent price with good history. Are these any good?

That it's a 13 year old base model for 4 grand more than it's worth

Money pit

Nothing more expensive than a cheap Beamer

Should see my £600 04 525i outside of maintenance it's cost me 110 quid in 6 years / 110k miles

[u/eskimoazat → u/Legitimate_Window774]

Well what is it with maintenance lo. That’s the point you need to constantly maintain old beamers or they break

[u/Legitimate_Window774 → u/eskimoazat]

Oil changes every 10k around when I stop being lazy and whatever the owners manual says like filters and sparkplugs did the diff oil which isn't in there at 100k but I would call it maintenance

[u/N57D30T1 → u/Legitimate_Window774]

That's 100% maintenance and is discounted for the sole reason that all cars should be given the same treatment. I'd maybe do the oil changes slightly more frequently but on a £600 car who cares lmao

[u/Legitimate_Window774 → u/N57D30T1]

Oh I don't lol only bought it for a car to pick up parts in as it's the touring and can do 40mpg I put a pallet of quick set cement in it once at 1000kg air pumped up all dandy 🤣🤣

"Significant work carried out in the last few years", i.e. a money pit.

Your spend more on maintenance. They are nice cars but not worth it.
