I'm sure this will be helpful for a few people looking to get into BMWs
This is part of the BMW tax and the cost of owning a prestige german brand. If you want a luxury car with lower cost of ownership go with Lexus or Infiniti but they are boring to drive. The average enthusiast will be much happier with the bimmer which also has broader after market support. Folks that own Bimmers like customization and modification and are willing to spend a fortune to pimp their ride, make it faster, etc. Also, you can get an extended warranty, I have 6 year 100k maint. and warranty coverage. After that, my insurance sells mechanical breakdown insurance. Prepaying like this will definitely save you in the long run.
