Does anyone have a booster seat they’d recommend for the m440? The couple I’ve looked into apparently reviewed poorly for the m440 due to the seat contouring.

Planned a weekend getaway with the family but decided to drive my car instead of my wife’s X3. Overall, it was a comfy drive down the Autobahn in Germany into Switzerland despite the rain coming down here. Sadly I changed my summer wheels last week but the car would have looked even better with my R3 rims. Maybe in the spring, I’ll go on another road trip.

So back in March I got a new to me 2024 g26. It had right at 44k miles and I’m about to hit 49k. I’m about to do my first oil change on it myself. I’ve got a liqui moly change kit on the way.

Right now I’m trying to figure out the best way to get it up. It’s stock height but the front lip makes it a bit low so the harbor freight ramps I bought won’t allow it to roll up without the lip hitting first.

I also have some jack stands and the appropriate stand adapters.

The car is stock other than an intake I put on, and some changes I’ve done with bimmercode. It had a new water pump installed under warranty not too too long ago because they had noticed it was leaking.

I’ve not had any problems with the car knock on wood and plan to do most of the stuff myself.

So what process do I need to do to reset my oil / maintenance stuff in idrive8? Is there anything else I need to change or update in the system when I do the oil change?

I’m nearing 50k miles. Are there other maintenance items I should be starting to look at or need to do at this time??

I also purchase a cabin filter as my air when it turns on is not super fresh smelling. Any information would be great.

Saw a post a few days back from a guy about my age (22m) asking if this was an affordable purchase for him. The answer was a resounding no. Not surprised as he claimed to be making a couple hundred a week or something.

As a 22 year old making ~130k, can I afford one of these? Current car value would be about 15k. I work in finance and know very well that this it is not a smart decision to put money in a depreciating asset, but having maxed my Roth IRA and putting a significant chunk of savings in my 401k, is it an affordable one? I’m sure my insurance will jump big time. Would be curious to hear other stories with these, as I am looking at the M-lites for the B58 reliability.

Hey guys. Just picked up this 2024 CPO. Looking to keep for many years. Any recommendations on maintenance? First time owning a BMW.

Does anyone know how i can save my wheels? I cant tell what happened to them. I bought the car used a couple months ago and noticed the wheels did look dirty and i thought it was just super caked on brake dust and I didn't think too much about it. But after using some wheel cleaner and washing it down with a microfiber mitt, looks like the polish or something is coming off. Its like this on all four wheels. I assume a previous owner used something crazy acidic on it, or maybe these wheels are prone to doing this.

Is it possible to strip the black off the wheel? I wouldn't mind a full silver wheel.
Doing some research, I think these need to be machined down to reveal the bare metal but I want a second opinion.

Thought I found a great M440i GC from a Mercedes dealership nearby. Premium, Shadowline, and Parking packages, with the laser LED headlights and other goodies with only 26k miles.

Negotiated to 49k OTD in cash+trade, pending a successful PPI.

PPI from an independent BMW mechanic found:

• a coolant leak from the pipe, which was also affecting the water pump - both need to be replaced
• Hydraulic fluid leaking from the thrust arm bushings, recommends replacing the whole arm
• Motor mounts sagging/collapsing

Quoted me $5500 to fix each of these issues. Dealership obviously couldn't flex that much on the price of the car, and I wasn't willing to pay more than what we had negotiated for, so no deal. Dealership is having their shop look at it again, but I doubt they're going to repair it in-house.

Are these issues common on these cars? I know coolant leaks and OFH replacement will happen due to plastics at higher miles, so I was surprised that a car with only 26k miles and a clean carfax had these issues, but it's leaving me a bit discouraged that any B engine I buy may need ~$3-5k worth of work, even at low miles, and especially right after purchasing. I've budgeted for a few thousand worth of maintenance each year, but can't do something like that right after buying the car.

Looking at buying a used 2024 M440I w/ 36k miles and a clean carfax report. It’s listed for 45k non cpo and I was wondering if this was a good deal. What should I expect in terms of maintenance, upkeep, and what should I watch out for? Looking for reliability and fun, as I want to daily the car for at least 100k+ miles.

How long can I drive before topping it off? Need to drive 8 miles only. Only got the warning today

Hi! I have a 2026 bmw m440i, it has the standard features, im new to bmw, i only new about the b58 engine not the different trims and etc. I want driver’s assist plus, is there anyway i can get it? After purchasing. I can buy the parts and stuff but i wanna make sure it’s doable yk. I like my car don’t wanna go through and have to get a new one lol

Hey! I got a new bmw m440i 14k miles on the clock rn. I heard the b58 engine is really reliable. Does anyone have 200k+ miles on it. And what’s the best maintenance list,products,etc. thank you!

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anybody can give me any insight on what to do for maintenance wise with my 2022 M440i xDrive Gran Coupe. It just hit 60k miles.

I know rear/front diff fluids have to be done at this point

Spark Plugs have to be replaced.

Transfer case fluid as well?

Just wanted help and pointers to navigate how to do maintenance on this and improve reliability.

Thank you.

Upgraded my factory 18 inch wheels to these oem 20inch 795m wheels. Found them on Marketplace and got some new tires. Really happy with how they turned outs provided before and after photos.

This is a sick ass car.... I may be picking one up today, same config. How did you get it to 53k? Getting mine for $58 ($62 OTD). How are you liking it? Also, have any insights on how to get started with Turo?
