Had my 2013 just over a year. Been without only one night while they ordered a new strut that blew on the right front.

2-3 I think.

Mostly interval service and once for the driveshaft recall. Another time to recharge the AC. Been a reliable car though Im at less than 40k miles.

Only 1 Thus far...but a second is looming.

I'm 10 months into ownership on my 2013, and aside from an elective oil change and 2 new front tires, it's been bulletproof.

Going in next month for another oil change (I like 6 month intervals) and spark plugs (I'm at 35,000 miles), but it's been just as reliable as my previous F30 335i. Also in need of an AC recharge, but that can wait till spring at this point.

Im in 1 year and lucky havent been called to the dealer yet.
Knock on wood. But I used this car regularly compared with my E60 M5.

That car was in the dealer at one time repeated for 1 month. And it was a garage queen earlier in its life.

Thats why I believe, a more used car is a healthier car.

I miss my e60 though. That v10 sure gives a big vroom vroom.

0 nights on my 31000 miler, had an oil/filter change (0-30 Edge bmw long life rating) 3 months ago and rear diff oil change at same time (this for no charge)!cancelled out the diff question mark on BMW dealers computer.Waited about 3 hours and after a further 55 point check then wash and hoover afterwards went home happy where I changed both cabin filters just arrived in post myself as old ones smelt like bad mustard. I waited at dealers as waste of time going home then coming back .As I supplied the 9.5L of the Castrol oil myself I qualified for the 'value service' so more reasons to be cheerful.
