One of BMWs best

BMW's, specifically M series can sometimes get a bad rep for reliability and the markup in service cost if out of warranty. This couldn't be further from the truth...I've owned two f80 M3s and these things are extremely well-engineered and other than the random crankhub issues (typically caused by loose crankbolts from the factory or bad tunes that on-ramp torque too quickly) these cars are bullet-proof. I've put over 70,000 miles on this chassis and have had ZERO headaches, zero mechanical surprises and nothing but a xxxx eating grin from ear to ear each and every time I drive one. BMW did a knockout job mechanically and cosemetically with this generation F8X M3 and they've prooven to hold-up against the test of time. With petrol engines being phased out, this car is sure to continue to hold it's value!!!

Principle BMW of San Antonio are THIEVES

I was involved in a traffic accident, on 2/23/2021. My car was towed to Principle BMW of San Antonio .I went to pick the car several days later when they told me it was ready. The car didn't drive right and all my belongings were stolen. My .45 .Kimber, my Ray Ban, prescription glasses, my laptop and briefcase and Escort radar detector are missing 😑. The end of the story is they got paid $15,000+ and demanded a additional amount of $5000 from me. The car still as of 4/5/2022 isn't fixed and doesn't drive. AVOID PRINCIPLE BMW!!!
