In general, the higher the initial cost of a car, the higher the cost of maintenance over its lifetime. That means that a $50K BMW will always cost more to maintain than a $25K Honda of the same age and mileage. Have you ever priced a fender for a Rolls Royce? Think $20K.
As far as BMWs go, the 2-series has been the most reliable in recent years. You can look it up. But it will always cost you a bit more to maintain than a car that is less pleasurable to drive. You gets what you pays for.

TBH, I've known that deep down, but I just didn't wanna accept it since I liked the car so much, and the price was in my budget lol. It's a fair point; beggars can't be choosers, right?
I feel like Lexus would do me better than Toyota/Honda econoboxes. Get the luxury with the Toyota reliability.
The Bimmer will have to be a pipe dream until later on, I suppose.
