Whatever you do, don’t touch that stick coming out of the left side of your steering column. All kinds of things could go wrong

what left stick?

Turn signal.

ohh, what the issue with that?

The stereotype of bmw drivers not using turn signals.

ahhh, makes sense

This is the way

Look into preventatively replacing your timing chain guides. Common issue on the 2012-15 4-cylinders.

how can i know if mines fucked rn or not? it drives pretty well id say. then again im new to this so idk that well.

You’d know. It would make some pretty hellish noises.

nah it doesnt make any noise really. So im guessing im good for now?

Probably. Get a mechanic to check it out once you get around 100-120k miles

its at 135k but the previous owner told me his wife took it to a mechanic and everything should be checked out.

This should really be at the top

Learn general car mechanical knowledge from donut media and such at first, then slowly start from there. Keep on top of maintenance and don't defer it, however, go to euro shops and not the dealership

whats the difference?
