With these types of import vehicles it’s all about maintenance costs......we love our 328i but dadgum........we just replaced the battery and it was right around $326 for parts and labor.

Also I’ve alwbeen leary about new vehicle models that have been on the market less than 5 years.

I did a little research, the Grenadier is coming to the USA and will use a really generic BMW engine that is used is basically every third world country with a ton of cheap parts.

With coil over shocks and super basic, but industrial, bottom side.

I expect it to break very little and be easy to fix.

Kind of the polar opposite of a super fun, but high maintenance, Euro machine.

Something that can be fixed on the fly in the middle of Mexico or Africa. Or rural USA.
