you sir , are full of shit. Ive done far more REPAIRS on BMW than Hondas . Now , I do a lot of MAINTANENCE on Hondas. Not near as many repairs. Do you want to know why ? Because the Honda owner can afford the maintanence , while the average Bimmer owner is to strapped with his or her payment , that they cant do anything until they have to.

Considering my car cost less then alot of the cars in the for sale section of this forum. I'm pretty sure I never thought that.
But with any car comes the basic maintance my Z3 requires.
Brakes, tires, filters, coolant system maintance, bushings, seals, and clutches.
And I can bet that most, if not all of those normal wear and tear parts for my Z3 arent that much more, if at all, more expensive then your normal toyota or honda.
But where you really see the price is when shops, mainly dealers, want to rape you on labor just cause its a BMW.
The radiator on my car was easier to change then on my last civic, yet a local shop wanted to charge me insane amounts for labor, their excuse?
Its a BMW
fuelie327, to you I might sound like a typical euro car asshole owner, or whatever you wanna call it, but to me, you sound like your typical asshole shop mechanic that wants to hustle everyone.

thats funny since the radiator for the z3 is over 300 for just the part and the Honda radiator is only 160, the labor is the same . How did it cost more on the honda? And as far as hustling people , I gaurantee you that doesnt happen. I charge as fair a price as possible and I charge a manufacture list.

load of crap
you sir are full of it
like any car, as long as you don't goto a dealership you won't get raped on repairs
I've found from personal experience that a 96 Accord is WAY more expensive to own and operate and get repaired than either the E36 or my current E46 3 series.
