Hello all I'm interested in getting a BMW and have been for some time now, I'm really curious, they are also expensive to maintain as everyone says they are, and what is the definition of dear I go that they aren t going to be as cheap to keep mazda or toyota what a typical tune cost Obviously, I have come to the right place then how often break your BMW down I'm are- they reliable enough looking at a 2010 325i that I can get for a fairly cheap price, I have a job well paid 70,000 a year then you say it's in my price range should I take a step back and maybe consider doing something else that is not as luxurious Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Well, let's just put this way, I was leafing through my local newspaper, saw an ad placed by my local BMW dealer BMW urging owners to leverage their DRAIN SPECIAL for February's announcement said 99 regular taxes is 149 materials was the rest.

Lol is my camaro with LS3 6 2L engine with 500 HP is less money then my little 328i regarding oil changes I find that to be funny thats just me.
BMW's are more money to maintain thats mainly because its imported car and BMW are better then other imported cars like jap cars but if you buy a new version that you should have no problems my manly 2011 328i had no problems and if I have problems of its warranty and i regular gasoline.

People in America will own a BMW, Mercedes or Lexus even if they go into debt So to answer your question, you'll have no problem owning a 2010 325i because a Toyota Avalon is more than that.

BMW did not have a guarantee or a plan where you get the first x years regular maintenance free.
If you can take care of basic things you, and understand the importance of regular preventive maintenance, they aren t really that bad.
But they're fancy schmancy luxury vehicles It's a bonus for all.
Fourteen seconds after my car well past three years are almost useless now.

Changing yourself and oil is more expensive than any other vehicle you pay for stealership to steal your money.

I 325i 2003 with 100, xxx on the clock is like any other vehicle, if you take care of it, you take care to do regular maintenance and you should be good, especially on a new one.

1 Make your own oil changes, it is very easy and will save nearly 100 prob I do my own oil to pay about 35-40 and 15 for the filter Also I have not had problems with my 328 miles 57K I did I receive a service married, my indie told me I did not need, but I want to stay on top of things little things can turn into big things quickly, but they are just going to check all fluid replace the lights that I did stop light and run a diagnostic for me all under 30, must be completed not granted replaced he said the worst Im looking 50-70 dollars however keep in mind when you need to get something fixed, it will be more than your average American car, but if you stay on top of it, do your proper maintance, you will be fine, and with the 2010, you will have a factory warrenty so, in other words, if you like a car to get it, you'll be fine.
The greatest gifts in life are those we cause.
Other than maintenance 1 and 2, which I believe is 800- 1200 a piece, every 30,000 miles, not bad tires are expensive, expected to last 12k miles and it will be around 1,000 for 4 changes oil are many, but you can run about 8,000 miles to a change in all honesty, who cares I sell the car before it hits 50,000 miles though, or you will most likely lose your ass on the car if you must fund.

All they replace part comes with a two year parts and labor warranty they you feed They wash your car They give you Internet while you wait Installation of high-quality components to most alternatives and they doing the work that you do not need to do.
Just because you choose not to pay, does not mean that they steal the money of the people The dealer is not for everyone if you do not want to spend money to get top warranty and service, then don t But no need to spread accusations that they are just ripping people, lol.
IF MY CAPS shock you, BLOCK AND ME If you notice the first letter of each word CAP ED IT S DONE AUTOMATICALLY BY THE FORUM BECAUSE I TYPE IN ALL It doesn t ALWAYS do, like when I QUOTE OTHERS IF YOU DON T LIKE IT, SEE THE FIRST SENTENCE IN MY SIG.
It is all a matter of perception people seem shocked that your average run-of-the-mill fresh Troubleshooter garage mechanic minimum 75 per hour of work loaded on your car, take a dealer, and load by 100 specialists hour for the same work, but, chances are the specialists will be able to diagnose more precisely your problem, have the parts on hand to repair, and have all the special tools needed to complete maintenance or repairs can be assured that the work they do will be in 99 9 case be done properly specialists will also likely that your car running in a time with shorter OEM parts installed, not Chinese knockoffs, and you get the guarantee, the quality of care that comes from somewhere NOT called gas can Henry's, and you can be assured that your cover oil filter housing will be on your right and drain plug installed correctly.
For the so-do-it-yourselfer or the guy who has just moved to a Mustang GT 1995, the parties seem costly and labor seems ridiculous, but that's because they are sophisticated cars are generally more complex and difficult to work than their American or Japanese counterparts, you can simply hit a generic part of it and it will work, but it won t run at its best, and most people on these forums prefer to stay at OEM quality at least with the notable exception being the water pump, even if they do the work themselves to save on labor.

And these experts you pay more for parts well, at least one near me does BMW Seattle When my 3rd brake light cracked the dealer's cost for single room was more than repairing a set of independent parts, including.
Do not be paranoid as an elitist or you think that no one but the mechanics of the dealers have the tools to fix s BMW While it is true that every independent mechanic and probably not a garage mechanic has the necessary equipment away from Sá that the dealer is qualified to repair your car.
Not so much a signature as a call using Hold, saw in a cartoon once think I can pull it off.
I do not think techinicians dealers are the only ones who have the tools or intelligence, but when you have a problem with your foot as you do that you go to a foot doctor who's specially trained in foot problems you have toothache you go to a dentist specially trained to deal mouth and teeth what I'm getting at here is the BMW technicians at dealerships are specially trained to work on BMW and BMW as classes and training they will have specific BMW they're submerged in BMW all day everday which is the type of technician that i want to work on? Of my BMW.
Again, this is not to say that indy stores didn highly qualified mechanics but for me those who have more experience and a better chance of diagnosing your car are those who only work on cars and EXPRESSLY exactly like yours every day.
It is not elitism to suspect that the best care for your car will come from a BMW dealer or authorized repair shop I like what Samger said about doctors foot which is very true to deal with cars, I would rather take my car to a certified technician to have oil Can Henry's attempt to repair my car when most of his experience comes to repair Chevy pickup and anything domestic and vice versa, if I tried to get a problem fixed on my pushrod atomized Oldsmobile big block, I would want to take a guy who specializes in simple domestic cars.
And it is irrelevant to point out that an independent charge fewer parts and labor compared to the total cost of parts only of a BMW dealership From what I can gather, the store dealer service is allowed to buy their parts from an OEM supplier ONLY chances are, the independent store could draw China and Malaysia for their parts, which offsets the cost is more a question of whether you are willing to pay for OEM parts, compared imitations something like a stop light, knockoffs probably good, you were smart to go with a indy, but real mechanical problems that may determine the future reliability of your car, most of us prefer to trust the original parts, if not the first DIY BMW technicians can buy OEM part and do the job in his garage, and probably c ny unless all parts of the job and the same work of an independent organization and issues that most of us will have cooling system, VANOS, sensors, filters and other consumables, most pref er we OEM and as such we express in our messages.
