How expensive is expensive ? (BMW maintenance)

[Starex_Gold]

I think mura maintenance ng Lexus compared sa BMW/MB/Mini..

Kasi Toyota din yun eh

Like yung maintenance cost ng Lexus ES350, dapat same lang ng Camry kasi basically pareho lang sila. +2M pesos lang sa price tag yung ES350 at mas mabango na Leather Seats

When I was at Lexus' showroom recently, none of the vehicles felt like a Toyota. Wala lang akong idea sa internals, but ramdam mo naman saan napunta yung extrang bayad.

Anyway, a C class - 3 series - IS300 comparo will be great.

I have driven the three cars.

I still prefer the Merc C-class.

Bimmer 3-series feels clausterphobic

Lexus IS300 "styling" just doesn't cut it for me and it's frustratingly s...l...o...w.

5-6k seems to be fine.

Problem is, pag major na yung nasira. :bwahaha:

Pang-bigtime talaga ang BMW ...

well, you can but you have to pay extra to re-program the car security, etc at BMW after changing the battery.

Motolite delivery personnel did change the battery of our boss' BMW 5-series without reprogramming. Started the car with batteries in series, then removed the dead battery with the new one.

Mas mahal parin kamo ang M Benz. Ibang klase na kapag Major PMS ng SLK.

Facepalm nalang ako tuwing nakikita ko yung bill

Re Lexus: Kahit ano mangyari, kahit anong feeling, Toyota parin talaga. Sorry di ko sila type. RX350 lang at LS460h

Just getting curious day by day.

How expensive is it to maintain a BMW ? Lets say BMW's year 00 ~ present.

When you hear the initials " BMW " the usual thing that pops out from your mind is of course first " porma " then usually " high/expensive maintenance " comes in second or in third.

So how expensive really is EXPENSIVE ? Is it comparable to lets say a camry or an accord ?

- please give an estimate for the ff ...

regular pms : xxxxxx php
major pms ( requires you to replace a lot of parts ) : xxxxxx php

Mura lang sir as long na alam mo kung san makakakuha ng parts.pag sa casa mahal talaga.kaibiganin mo nalang yung S.A tapos ipaservice mo sa bahay mo haha . May mga parts na mahal, may mga parts na mura. Mas mahal jaguar sir. i had mine serviced nun july pag pinasok ko sa casa aabot pala ng 56k change oil and tune up palang. nun kinaibigan ko yun S.A inabot lang ako around 25k change oil and tune up .

May mga kotseng more than 10K ang isang shock absorber. Like the Pajero FM (kasi power adjustable) and the new Tucson Premium (kasi electronic selective damper)

BMW 3 series plastic front grill at around P3500 each. And since it has two grills (the left & the right) you have to buy two!
