these cars should go for a very long time on stock tune On any sort of tune its really depends who tuned it With any sort of turbo car they tell you these days there is no need to cool down, that is utter rubbish Just drive sensibly for the last 5 min of your trip and that's good enough Redlining is not a problem just don't bounce of the rev limiter The harder you drive the more costly the maintenance is going to be, have fun in your car that is what you brought it for but don't drive it like you stole it. No car can put up with that for long Last edited by martymil; 01-20-2017 at 01:44 AM.. |

The N series motors do use lifters, refer part 7 on the image below. I believe the only recent bmw motor to require regular valve lash adjustment is the s54, but i could have missed one or two.

It's a lifter but it isn't in the traditional sense they are cam followers and all motors require a valve lash adjustment at some point
The n54 in most cases never need one but if driven hard most of the time I would get done at least once at around 100k because preventative maintenance is cheaper than cure and get the valve cover changed around the same time as these split and crack from heat and age So while changing the valve cover get the mechanic to check you adjustments as at this point it's only around 1hrs extra work at most and a piece of mind everything is right Last edited by martymil; 12-25-2016 at 08:05 AM.. |

With the knowledge that these cars havent and probably wont depreciate like regular cars, i reckon some owners are listing their cars opportunistically, and ultimately speculating on someone willing to pay overs.
I spend way too much time trawling carsales, and you see it amongst other models too. For instance the first current series c63s in the country were being listed at 10% plus premiums on rrp! Even taking into account orc, i reckon some were trying to make a quick buck... Like martymil says, the market price is as much what a buyer is prepared to give. Personally id love to upgrade to a 1m, but it is currently a sellers market. |

It's a bit more volatile on low availability. E30 M3s are a good example.
But current series C63s (do you mean W205?) aren't a good sample... That happens to all cars fresh off the block. Focus RS, Mustang GTs are a couple of cars where people were asking up to 20% over RRP to make a quick buck from someone who couldn't be arsed waiting 9+ months in queue. Actually I'm pretty sure since the C205 came out, W205s have steadily dropped.

Well there is a shortage as currently only 9 on Carsales however the cheapest 1M has gone up in price by $3,000 today despite being on the market a long time and over 100k's. It would be great if Sellers did not copy and paste the marketing blurb and actually tell us something about the car they are trying to sell!
