My barber complained "a $400 battery every 3 years, a $1100 brake job every 18,000 miles, ..." I shudder to think what a 60,000 mile service must cost at those prices. |
I think you will find that a BMW isn't a lot more expensive to maintain than most modern cars today, especially if you keep up with things like oil/gear lube changes, to help avoid any major problems.
Once it is out of warranty, you should probably try to find a good independent BMW shop in your area, to handle your regular maintenance & repairs. You should be able to save $30/40 per hour on labor.
