My M3 hasn't broken, it's so damn reliable. I hate it

vegnomeat · 04-09-2015, 05:06 PM

It's a 2011 with 24k, it bloody works and so does everything inside. I am so pissed off, I want to complain but I cant. If you have similar problems then please post here to help others.

BzsBimmer · 04-09-2015, 05:12 PM

You just jinxed yourself lol

thekurgan · 04-09-2015, 05:15 PM

So how do you pronounce "Worcestershire"?

Where I come from, it's "Woostah-sheer"

EJT86 · 04-09-2015, 05:27 PM

Where I come from its Woostah-shiah

radiantm3 · 04-09-2015, 05:29 PM

You have 24k miles which is barely driven for a 2011. My 2011 has 61k and I'm on a second motor. Report back when you pass 50k.

JoePcone · 04-09-2015, 05:30 PM

Exactly, you have 24k miles. How hard do you drive that thing to be impressed that it hasn't broken down by now?? I have about 20k miles and I have had no issues, guess mine is a freaky reliable car - lucky me

Weird, I'm from Quincy and never heard it like that, but it does make more sense.

fivaxis · 04-09-2015, 07:13 PM

I have 72k, put 15k on it in the last 9 months, runs amazing, only maintenance has been oil and tires and a new dct oil pan.

Flying Ace · 04-09-2015, 07:18 PM

quick question...have you checked your oil sample yet?

silence....

mermar · 04-09-2015, 07:25 PM

In a way I want to say thanks for posting this to balance all of the 'sky is on fire' (bearings) paranoia. But I also wonder - so this brand has Owners celebrating no problems at 24k?? - like that is an achievement or milestone. Most Honda's have no problems at 224k. My M3 is the most exciting car I have ever owned - but I do worry a bit about reliability. I over maintain it - and will hope for the best.

Xx__xs · 04-09-2015, 07:31 PM

Bro, pass 80k and then make this thread.

80 or even 60. Single repairs can easily be 10 percent of what the car is worth. At 24k the car is still new. Op keep us posted.

Disturbed · 04-09-2015, 08:01 PM

Heheh. I have almost 60kmi and no blown motor yet. But if it does...eh it's under extended warranty. Maybe it's time to hit Sebring...motor should be broke in by now.

I've actually never heard someone around here say the word but that's about the way Id pronounce it

ZEEM3R · 04-09-2015, 08:08 PM

Go check your rod bearings. I heard them breaking all the way from here...

STooK · 04-09-2015, 08:18 PM

22.5k miles on mine and its an 11 as well. besides the battery that I just changed, everything else works great. But like others said, still way too early to tell.

Denk · 04-09-2015, 08:29 PM

Damn, that's a lot of miles! I can't break 20K before moving on. I'm glad she's hanging in there for you.

My buddy just broke 100k without any issues, you "should" be good to go for a long time...but you never know. So many uncertainties in life.

Your mad because your M is working properly?
So what happens when you do come across a problem with your M? Do you go on a rampage and start machine gunning people down?!
Just wait till your warranty comes to a end! I'm sure you'll start to worry then.
