Also, if you do your own maintenance your cost drops to that of a Honda Civic, or less. I do all my own stuff on my 235i and X3 M40i. Brakes, spark plugs, oil changes, trans fluid, diff fluid, chargepipe, downpipe, you name it… I avoid the stealership like a plague and have a good independent guy out here for anything major that is beyond my expertise.

I have kept my maintenance costs very low doing my own work.
