Original plugs? Ditto. Coolant flush, brake fluid, rear diff. Sure, you can skip all that and save money, but then you’re not properly maintaining the car. Bet your battery craps out next year. Of course the first few years are gong to be cheaper with a new car and free maintenance. The 2k annual budget was a long term extrapolation I came up with in anticipation of a six year ownership period, driving 16-17k per year. Year four could easily cost you 4k.

My m235i has 87,000 miles and I am still on my original brakes and rotors.
