Let’s face it, BMW repairs can be expensive and when you buy that new or used BMW from the dealership, you want to make sure your BMW is covered with a vehicle warranty if anything should go wrong and need repairs.

It’s common to hear that once you purchase your BMW with a warranty, scheduled maintenance and repairs need to be completed by the dealership or else it voids the warranty. This is quite the myth and unfortunately, many people believe it to be true.

The 228i Coupe is the entry-level vehicle in BMW’s 2 series line-up, offering rear wheel drive and compact size. Powering the 228i is a 2.0 liter four cylinder that produces 240 horsepower and 255 torques. The 228i isn’t exactly a lightweight at 3334 pounds, but according to a recent review by MotorTrend, it gets along just fine. Check out some highlights from MotorTrend’s review.

Despite not having a substantial weight advantage, the 228i does feel sprightlier than the four-cylinder 3 Series. The power is more than adequate to propel the dimensionally smaller 2 Series, and as always the eight-speed automatic transmission makes the most of that power.

The cooling system of your Bmw heavily relies on the thermostat so as to work properly. A functional Bmw thermostat is very important in making sure the engine has enough anti-freeze to avoid overheating.

Just like other components, Bmw thermostats will eventually break down. A possible sign that you must replace your Bmw ‘s ”thermometer” is if it gets stuck in open or close position, triggering an engine temperature warning light to malfunction; whatever happens, the car’s cooling system is surely to suffer and cause more serious engine issues. Rusty patches are definitely typical troubles especially if water trickles into the thermostat’s steel parts. You’ll have to buy a new component if it’s worn out.
