when did bmw's get expensive (lol)

The newer M motors want the special Castrol 10w60 with is about $9-10 a quart... so the cost adds up quick for an oil change. The labor is the cheap part ;)

Of course doing it yourself and even using other brand oil will save you money.

Sounds cheap, the Silkolene for my R6 is like $16 a quart.

For the guy that PM'd me for the DIY on resetting the oil lights, and needs to clean out their PM inbox:

To me BMW parts were'nt expensive (at least the 3 series). compared to alot of japs of a lesser category. But the same parts that i bought a year or two ago are costing way more now. That has to do with the prices of gas going up.
