Lets see, had to recently replace the radiator reservoir, the alternator, and had an oil leak in my 10yo 328i. These parts don't exist in a Tesla.

Should be interesting to see what does breakdown though.



But does your bmw have a leaky door, sunroof, trunk, or lights?

What about a charger? Or random electrical errors?

I don’t buy the “less maintenance” part. Maybe stuff breaks less often but if it breaks, you’re screwed.

Anyway we’ll see. I’d gladly be proven wrong.

Also, there are other brands. I think everyone agrees EVs will eventually be more reliable, Tesla is just a worst case scenario with their “high volume” “beta release” (model S)

Yeah my '97 actually did have a leaky back windshield after the stripping got old enough. The lights fill with water on my father's '02.

Are you joking asking me if an old BMW has electrical problems? If you've never owned one the answer is yes.


Your ‘97? That’s 23 years old...

My 98 BMW 316i never had issues
