After seeing all the B.$. my buddy's 335i puts him thru, a used Bimmer was contemplated by me (along w/P-car) when shopping, but I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger. A straight dino oil change was $135+. He changed it at his cost with 8k miles since he couldn't wait until 15k miles for the "free" one. He was "surprised" it was as black as it was; "it's a new engine!".

Snow chains for the rear tires cost $500. He's going Autozone now, LOL.
