Give me an idea how much a 335c would cost me to maintain?

nukezero · 01-20-2009, 10:30 PM

Long story short, ordered car last year, backed out of deal due to economy uncertainty. But still want the car real bad. Reconsidering in the coming weeks to order again.

but anyways, i intend to keep this car for about 5 years, and was wondering if anyone who've owned bmw's or atleast owned a 07 model can atleast give me an idea how much maintenance has run in cost so far for you?

things like:

1. clutch service (mine wil be manual)
2. tranny oil change
3. coolant/brake flush, etc.

etc.

Well... Nothing.
They say it's cheaper to maintain a BMW than a cup of a coffee.

It's cheaper to maintain a bmw than a garden
well......until warranty is up

I believe the extended maintenance plan costs in the neighborhood of $3000, so that is a pretty fair ceiling on the maintenance cost of the car

If you're keeping it for 4 years/50k miles, nothing, unless you need to replace your tires.

Not sure myself. I figured he was using the old nomenclature for a convertible

German cars are expensive to maintain out of warranty, period.

Save 1K a year for the first four years. At the end of the maintenance/warranty period, you'd have 4K. Budget 1K a year after that and you'd be covered pretty well.
