Are used BMW parts and servicing expensive?

Yes, a BMW costs more to service and repair than a typical Japanese car, which is the trade-off for the engineering and the badge. Parts and labour sit in the premium bracket, so buy a low-mileage, well-maintained example with a clean history. Starting from a good car avoids the big bills that come with a neglected one.

Are Japanese-market BMWs well looked after?

Yes, BMWs in Japan are typically low-mileage and superbly maintained, which is the main reason to import one. Owners there drive fewer miles, service on schedule, and the mild climate with no road salt means almost no rust. The auction sheet confirms it, so you can see exactly what you're buying.

Is the 3 Series the BMW to buy?

For most buyers, yes, the 3 Series is the BMW to start with, since it's the sport saloon the brand is built around. It blends sharp handling, a quality cabin, and running costs that are gentler than the bigger models. The straight-six versions are the ones keen drivers love. It's the easiest BMW to recommend and to resell.

What is the difference between sDrive and xDrive?

sDrive is rear-wheel drive and xDrive is BMW's all-wheel-drive system, fitted for grip in all weather. sDrive keeps the rear-drive balance BMW is known for, while xDrive adds traction on wet or loose surfaces. Pick sDrive for feel and lower running costs, or xDrive if your roads need the grip. It comes down to your climate and taste.
