C class, 3 series or A3 based on maintenance costs?

Hi guys,

If all done in casa, no breakdown just basic PMS. Which of three has the lowest maintenance costs.

Assuming 2013 model and 5 years ownership.

Can't speak for the others, for my wife's '12 318i (E90) it cost us P4,477.93 for its first oil change service or oil service in BMW speak.

My dads 318i is exactly the same
His service first came out at about P6200
It had 11800kms (it was 50kms to service according to the screen) when it was serviced and it was at Autozentrum BMW

*ronw123w124 Where was your wife's car serviced and how many kms did it have?

Edit:
Audi (post warranty) maintenance will be cheaper when VW gets here
Audi A3=VW Golf
Audi A4=VW Passat
Audi A8=VW Phaeton
Audi Q7=VW Touareg

I had it serviced at Autohaus Libis, it had around 1,200 km when I brought it in for service last week

That explains why it was more expensive. Did you bring it in when the screen in the dash said so?

I think a BMW would cost the least to service. The only problem are the runflats for a 3-series. Tires cost 80k a set in the dealership. Its at least 150k a set for an X5 M Sport.
Audi has a 5 year warranty. BMW only has a year 2 year warranty

How about waiting for the new Lexus IS
Will be cheaper with a bigger engine thanks to JPEPA
NO runflats
