Q: Is a 135i a good car? Im looking at 335 and 135i's for my next car and I'm curious about the upkeep. What would you recommend?
I'm a 20 year old who currently drives a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I've been looking at numerous cars to get next year from a 135i to a camaro ss to another jeep. All of these cars would be used but under 80k miles. I'm really looking at a 335i or 135i closely because they are sporty but luxurious but I'm concerned about repairs. Can you do them yourself? Are they expensive? How often do these N54 engines mess up? I know they're excellent and tunable engines but are they gonna kill me on repairs? Thank you in advance.
