Even though they appear to be common, the reality is that most people cannot afford to drive a BMW.
Even an older less expensive BMW will generally need more maintenance than an appliance car, and on top of that they cost more to fix.
I just paid $97 to have my oil changed in my BMW.
An oil change for a camry or f-150 can be done for $30 bucks or less.[/quote]

And I completely agree it’s not just BMW that costs $100 for an oil change.
And I also agree that most BMW’s are leased or pre-owned.
My 328 was about the same cost as a new Corolla with 36k miles; but it ain’t no Corolla that’s for sure.

I’m confused.
BMWs are status symbols,
But they’re common.
They are expensive for oil changes.
But so are a lot of other cars.
And they cost the same as a corolla.
But they’re status symbols.
for the record – I don’t own either a bmw nor corolla… so I have no dog in this.
I just find it funny how in just a few posts someone can argue that BMWs are status because they’re expensive and that they’re NOT to be compared to corollas, then say the price is comparable to corollas.
No need to respond. Like I said – I don’t have a dog in this.
