Buying a Used BMW 3 Series.

When you are considering this exceptional pre-owned car there some things we would like you to be aware of going in.  If you love the BMW, as so many millions do, you will probably be looking at a used vehicle that has been treated exceptionally well.  They feature powerful engines and rear-wheel drive reliability.  Your heart is set on this champion of motor cars.

The 3 series started off as economy entry-level coupe.  The price tag has since risen quite a bit as this model has become increasingly valuable in the after-market.  Some have even abandoned their dreams and “settled” for an Audi, Lexus, Mercedes, or Cadillac.  Obviously, if your heart is set on the BMW 3 series then you should pursue your dream.

Once you make that call, treat your BMW with utmost care and it will give you several more great years.  Of course, that goes hand in hand with regularly scheduled maintenance.  In the Denver area that choice is The German Car Shoppe located in Littleton Colorado.  We are your Denver area BMW series 3 (and all BMWs for that matter) repair and maintenance expert.

Servicing Your Audi.

While every foreign car is unique in its repair needs your Audi has its own set of particular maintenance necessities.  The service schedule of your Audi may not be the same as say, your neighbor’s Porsche.  Even within the line, one Audi’s schedule may vary compared to that of another model.  Just starting with the A4, the A5, and the A6 and moving up you will find different sets of circumstances.

Here are some general maintenance tips for your Audi.

1.  If your Audi has a turbo engine make sure that your oil is changed more often.
2.  Always have your front suspension inspected when having regular service done.
3.  Listen for a sharp sound which may be caused by a drying axle joint.
4.  Leaky coolant is more prominent with an Audi.
5.  Many Audis have trouble getting sufficient power to their electrical systems.

Keep an eye on the idiosyncrasies of your Audi.  If you do, it is built to give you a quarter of a million miles or more.  Of course, that goes hand in hand with great regularly scheduled maintenance.  In the Denver area that choice is The German Car Shoppe located in Littleton Colorado.  We are the Denver area Audi repair and maintenance expert.
