I have a 2005 E90 320i and am coming up on my first oil change. I notice BMW recommends castrol, my question is if this is an important recommendation or not. If it is important I will 100% use Castrol, but if not, I have a deal in a local shop for cheaper but still good oil.

I'm currently in the market for a used car. I have narrowed it down to the BMW sportwagon (need a wagon for sports equipment, dog, etc.). I have come across a 2012 328i sportwagon with a 3.0L i6 with 180,000Km, for $7500 (Canadian). The routine maintenance has been documented and brakes done recently. Needs new tires, serpentine belt, and control arms to be safetied. I am new to BMW world, but I am capable of doing most of the work myself. Is this price reasonable considering the work that needs to be done? What else should I look out for?

2022 BMW m340i xDrive. And just put in a AWE track exhaust suite. Spoiler on the way, catted downpipe coming soon. The never ending black hole of mods goddam.

Literally have never loved anything more. God, it’s just so sexy and it sounds so good. Driving it is better than sex, better than cumming. If I could fuck my car, I wouldn't, I'd only make sweet love to it.

Sorry, I just have this overwhelming feeling of love for it that I had to express this somewhere, somehow.
