It never breaks so just routine stuff like tires and brake pads etc and the rare service, which is very expensive as they have to take apart the engine but its only one every few years and only because its an M.

I would imagine all late model cars with all their gadgetry are just as expensive as each other.

It's a good argument for leasing.
I didn't know leasing includes maintenance vs. buying, isn't it the same?
The ultimate care program which comes with lease or buy lasts 3 years which is the same term as most leases so your costs are, mostly, predictable.
