BMW service treats you like a king, but it is very expensive for them to touch the car. The parts don't cost a whole ton (well, some of them don't, and some do...), but the labor is killer.

Labor rates are usually 10-15% higher per hour than non-premium brands, which isn't really that awful...it is just really apparent when you have a 5 minute job and they charge you the 1.5 hour minimum. |

I do ALL my car maintenance myself, I dont trust no one with my cars specially this one. I plan on gettiing the BMW DIS scanner to t/shoot and fix everything myself. Here in PR if you take this car for service at the dealer is like asking to get raped!

Thanks guys, I really enjoy this car, as far as it not having torque, its good enough for me this thing will do 170 MPH (limited) really quick. When you pass 100 mph its when it gets really fast.
