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.
