1. BMW 3 Series (E90, E92)
Older BMW 3 Series models, particularly those from the 2006-2013 era, are enticingly affordable on the used market. However, owners often encounter high costs due to European parts, electronic failures, specialized labor, and frequent repairs, especially oil leaks and cooling system issues. Insurance premiums are also higher than average, reflecting the vehicle’s performance capabilities. For a detailed analysis of ownership costs, refer to Consumer Reports.
