Question

Wow, this is making me very nervous about buying a 2nd car. I don't want to be stuck with two junkers down the road. What do you guys think about Toyota Tundra or Tacoma for the cottage driving??

The Jeep on the other hand, being a 2012 your looking at, will have much less electrical components and is cheaper to maintain down the road. In essence, both vehicles need to be maintained adequately but the jeep will have much less costly repair bills down the road, over the 335i. As for being reliable, it all depends on how their treated, most guys who have problems drive them hard, off roading for example. I've always believed if you maintain your vehicle as its supposed to (Don't follow BMW's 25,000 km oil change intervals lol) you should be fine!
