Watch it to the end with subtitles on, btw you have a chance to hear orignal polish language and not the one you see in movies with soviet accent

I understood every single word of that... not sure if it was supposed to be funny or if there is some law / rule / dumb understanding that a car completely devalues at 200k km?

Well... Eastern Europeans get all the older cars from Western Europe. So seeing a BMW with 200K on the ticker is very common! And let's face it, that's not really a lot for a well-maintained vehicle. It's mostly Americans who feel the need to dump a car after it runs out of warranty.

Mostly difference is that Europeans drives their cars often as company cars, my second car is VW Passat 2014 and after a year i have already 70.000miles on it , we drives a lot on highways with a littile bit higher speed than in US

My typical is 100mph in Poland and 120mph in Germany.

Twice in a month im driving from Karpacz ( Poland ) to Paris ( France) through Berlin ( germany) its about 2000 miles in both ways and it took me about 14h in both ways.

Keep in mind i need to pay for 2015 f30 328i good equipped 100.000$ and for 6 year old E60 is about 30k $

200.000km is magical mileage in Europe where most older people think is the end of cars life so they dont want to buy it

Why do you guys keep spelling lose with loose? I'm pretty sure it's not a typo anymore.
