Best BMW Cars

Is there less than 1 star? I had a BMW 316i 2015 start falling apart as soon as its hit 75000kms. Everything went wrong from coolant, leaking oil and… Read more

now drivetrain. BMW refused to help although the car has been serviced by them until now. My friend had a Deawoo which is a better car than this BMW. Please avoid buying this so call luxury prestige car waste of money. No service and no quality. I refused to buy another BMW even if they sell it to me for $10000. Lots of stresses the day I got this lemon BMW. Less stress dont own a BMW

This is perfect fit for family – It’s used regular commute and serviced regularly. Usually twice in year with service packages. Show details

I recently purchased this vehicle from a BMW dealership in Gosford, including a trade-in and finance, and the customer service was excellent. The… Read more

staff were friendly, took the time to explain every step of the process, and patiently answered all my questions. Once approvals and payments were finalised, the purchase process was straightforward and hassle-free.

The vehicle itself feels solidly built, with a quiet and efficient engine. It features a modern dual-screen setup, sporty M Sport accents inside and out, and an aggressive front and rear design complemented by matching rims and tyres. So far, the car has met my expectations. I’ll update this review in the coming months or years if any issues arise.

First and last BMW we will ever buy. The iDrive 9 system is full of bugs and requires doing a hard reset on a regular basis. Today the touchscreen… Read more

(which controls everything in the car) stopped working again, completely frozen, can't access anything until the car was stopped, locked and then restarted. The foot operated motion sensor for the tailgate probably only works 2 out of 10 attempts yet somehow while loading the boot it activated and the tailgate starting closing and hid me in the head, splitting my head open and causing it to bleed - this was while I had a baseball cap on! The engine and transmission are great but the user interface is a massive let down and so unsafe as I am constantly searching the menus trying to find something that should just be a physical button. It had the potential to be a great car but the software is a complete nightmare, I would NOT recommend buying this car.

BMW 125i E82 Auto review – I bought a 125i auto brand-new back in the day. I have since had brand new 425i coupe and now own a brand new 330e. I would say my favourite car to… Read more

drive to date has been the 125i (I had an auto version). Absolutely no complaints and no problems during my two years owning it. If you are driving it hard around old bits of twisty road, it will be a bit twitchy on hitting bumps. I would advise being careful with right foot - especially in wet weather (same as any powerful rear wheel drive car).

BMW markets itself as a leader in engineering and innovation. But my experience has shown otherwise. The factory-fitted alarm system failed to… Read more

activate after a significant impact — something any budget aftermarket system would have detected. This isn’t just a small flaw, it’s a complete failure of the technology that BMW sells as a safety feature.

BMW’s response has been dismissive, with no genuine attempt to resolve the issue. Customers buy BMW for peace of mind, but what you get instead is false advertising and no accountability.

For anyone considering BMW, ask yourself: what good is luxury if the brand doesn’t stand behind its own promises?

We purchased three new BMW cars in 2017. An X4, a 420 convertible and a 420 coupe for our daughter. Always serviced via log book at BMW dealer. … Read more

After the expiry of the warranty we had nothing but problems, all motors two litre twin turbo. Overheating, replaced waterpumps, piping cost $8000. All three cars, power windows wouldn't go up plus badge fell off X4 rubber around door perished, drivers door handle rubber fell to bits. Plastic fell off the front seats, so many problems. BMW answer its out of warranty not our problem. Two cars only travelled 50,000 and 60,000 klms.

This is an excellent car – Commuting, sports and family transport. With their Air Suspension which is very smooth driven. Radar control break and speed is another good features. I always turn on just prevent not concentration especially during traffic. Show details

Great car for the price! – Upgrading from my first car (Mitsubishi 380), I wanted something sporty, but not too expensive. For around $15,000, this is the best looking car,… Read more

with great handling/performance car I believe you can buy. I looked at many other cars such as an E90 325i, Mazda RX8, Mazda MX5,b but for the price, nothing could come close to a Z4. Buying new may be a different story, as I believe these depreciate pretty quickly. But for a used E85, I couldn't be happier!

Quality is Slipping for BMW – I have owned the M2 Competition (purchased new) for a few years. Like the M3 before, it is a beautifully balanced and suitably powered sports sedan.… Read more

It has not broken down on the side of the road, so it is reliable. However, does it live up to the $120K price tag? It depends on who you ask.

I've had the clutch replaced due to a squeaking rubbing noise and shudder that everyone in the vehicle felt. But in their 'wisdom', the flywheel wasn't replaced. I think it is common knowledge among technically minded people that you only replace the brake pads with the rotors, as they are two halves of the same component. So, for the maximum benefit, the clutch and the flywheel should have been replaced together. The noise and shudder remain, but BMW Australia says it's within spec. The dreaded term - 'within spec' - can explain away all issues about a vehicle and refuse warranty work, even excessive oil consumption.

So, when the hill assists brake paddle started to 'click' loudly after the first 18 months of ownership, that was explained away with the familiar, 'within spec'.

Do the squeaks and rattles drive you nuts? Then, the BMW may not be the brand for you. Not anymore. This time, the explanation was, 'You have to expect that from firm suspension'. I owned a Renault RS 265 with a firmer suspension without any NVH (Noise, vibration, and harshness) issues experienced with the M2C. Oh, and get this. BMW says the NVH issues must be reported within the first month of delivery. After that, the warranty doesn't cover it. What if the noise develops after that period?

I still enjoy driving the car, and opening up sensibly onto the highway onramp does put a smile on my face. Then it starts to rattling and squeaking. I guess this is quality engineering at its pinnacle.

This car is somewhat comfortable, but in my experience the features and ownership experience don’t justify the ~$95,000 price point. Range /… Read more

interstate travel: As an EV, interstate driving became a major frustration. In real-world conditions, I found the effective range to be around 280 km per charge depending on conditions. On a Melbourne–Sydney trip, charging stops, limited charger availability and queues made the trip blow out significantly — in my case it took around 17 hours, including roughly 8 hours spent charging/charging-related delays. That made long-distance travel impractical for me.

Charging experience: 0–99% charging takes roughly 70–80 minutes in my experience, and charging slows down noticeably as it approaches 100% (it’s not a simple “0–80%” story). Even on fast chargers, the maximum charging speed I personally saw was about 90 kW, and it dropped quickly as the battery level increased.

Features vs price: For the money, I was surprised at the lack of some “basic” driver-assistance features I expected to be standard, such as active lane keep assist / lane-centering style assistance (at least in the way it’s implemented in many other cars). Having to pay substantially more for higher trims/options to get what feels like a more complete package is hard to justify.

Reliability / major failure: The biggest issue for me was reliability. Within the first year, the car suffered a sudden failure while driving and stopped on the road with multiple warning messages, degraded braking and acceleration, and what I believe was a serious safety risk. It had to be towed to a dealership and was diagnosed as a DSC unit failure. The process took around three months to resolve, and I was only provided a courtesy car after escalation (supplied through SIXT, a basic Kia).

Depreciation: Depreciation has also been a concern. Based on what I observed in the market and the buy-back discussions I had, the value appeared to drop sharply within the first year, which is something buyers should consider. (About half the original price)

Overall, between the real-world range limitations, slow/variable fast charging, missing features for the price, the major breakdown and the after-sales experience, I wouldn’t purchase this model again.

Like the shape but it is not reliable – Had this car 35d for a couple of years . Bought from Bmw orange . Well , because of the shape , i choosed it . However , my personal Experience is… Read more

not good . Especially the diesel .

All common problem of 35d are occured in my car after 5 years ( 70000kms) . DPF Thermostat, 44malfuncation , tubro noise . Finally , i sold it last year .

What is more , my x6 optioned comfort seat because i have a sore back. . However, i compared it with my firend nissam murano . My seat is Only look luxurious and nissan murano seat is much more comfortable after 1 hour driving . X6 is 3 times expensive than a murano .

Anyway , x6 is a cool car to drive .but bmw is not a reliable brand to be frank . Bit disappointed after had 3 bmws , i was a bmw fan since 20s.
