Why Is It Tempting to Buy a BMW Car Despite Lack of Reliability

When it comes to shopping for a luxury car, most prospective buyers looking for luxury cars will likely shop between the three main German rivals: Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. While Audi and Mercedes are great brands and produce excellent products, BMW seemingly stands out in almost everyone’s minds as a “must-have.” 

But why? BMWs are known to have high costs of ownership, be unreliable, and they’re not exactly cheap to buy, yet they’re highly sought after. For BMW owners, everything is not about reliability, it could be about something else. So why is it so tempting to own a BMW even though it’s not a reliable car?

BMW Cars are Fun to Drive

Whether you have driven a new BMW or an older one, chances are that you’ve figured out their fun-to-drive nature. BMW didn’t come up with the tagline “The Ultimate Driving Machine” for no reason. 

Only 30 minutes behind the wheel of a new 2, 3, or 4 Series and you will likely be hooked in by their respective turbocharged six-cylinder engines that can get you up to 60 mph in around 5 seconds or less. 

On top of that, if you’re a driving enthusiast, then you’ll enjoy each car’s rear- or all-wheel-drive setup that makes turning almost any corner a non-issue.

BMW Has a Great Community of BMW Lovers

No matter where you are in the world, it seems like there are faithful BMW owners everywhere. There are many in Nigeria, precisely in Lagos, and they organize events regularly. There are countless online communities and forums to get useful information from as well as car meets. BMW ownership goes much further than just owning a car. It’s about the relationships and connections to other people that you can obtain as well.

Older BMW Cars are Still Fantastic Cars 

If you ever have the chance to drive an E30 3 Series or perhaps even an old BMW 2002, then you’ll understand the pure essence of having an “ultimate” driving machine. They handle well, are relatively easy to work on, and parts are still available for them, even 20 to 30 years later. If you need something a little newer and has lots of power, then look into getting a 2005-2010 BMW M5 with the V10 engine. 

Conclusion

While BMWs might not be the most affordable and reliable car in the new car market, they are still loved by owners. The Brand has also mastered luxury and this is one route that is also used To capture the attention of buyers.
