BMWs are the most expensive make to maintain by far, with a 10-year cost of $17,800. They found luxury brands are generally the most expensive to own over the long haul, but far less flashy vehicles ranked high too—including a few brands that have been retired since the data was compiled.

lol.. spam bots trying to tell us that E30s cost as much / are as unreliable as a modern BMW.

FWIW, my 2006 3330i has cost me nearly nothing in the last 7 years. The most expensive things by far were tires and gas. Not counting those, I don't think I've spent even $1000 on required maintenance.. I could count the number of repairs it's needed on one hand.

I'm waiting for the FS thread that has links to essay writing services.

Why do you need a thread dedicated to writing essays? If you need to write an essay, find these services online.

In the last six months for the daily driver e30, $25 for oil and a filter.

On the e93- over $500 for a battery, hood release cables, misc trim pieces and paint.

You should start a thread in the members rides, I’m curious to see what yours looks like

Dumb thread (thanks to the OP), but I'll bite.

I stopped adding it up years ago. But I was at $15k by 2007. And I've had it almost 20 years now. You can guess if you like!

Although in the last 5 years I pretty much don't mess with it much, I just drive it. It needs a few things - it's definitely more of a driver than a show car. But I don't spend anything on it other than gas and insurance. It helps that I have a massive hoard of parts!

I don't worry much about the total cost, and it costs me basically nothing to run these days. Plus, it turns out saving and investing over a long period of time actually does work. ;)

My base model 325i is obviously worth 20k after I've spent 15k on maintenance, mods and a rebuilt M30 to swap in cuz its what the kids want.

whatever the market bears. I'm happy knowing that my investment will allow me to daily mine for at least another 20 years. already have my heart set on watching the ticker turn over to 400k sent from hell using Tapatalk

you can pour thousands into an eta. it's still worth less than you think... unless you have some sorta sleeper... sent from hell using Tapatalk

Welcome to R3V Your car looks great, but I think an eta is merely the intro to E30 ownership and isnt really indicative of the true ownership experience. Your car is nice, but Im guessing yours started at a premium and when looking back at what you've spent $13k on its tough to think its worth holding on to.

YouR opinion is not needed and shows your small mindedness,

Whatever you say, but when you start a thread, throw out a round number that breaks out nothing for comparison and then advertise your car with that same number it seems fishy. In any case, my opinion is as valuable as yours, which is to say that neither has value.

I have no nefarious reasons for starting this thread. One thread has nothing to do with the other.

Your comment makes no sense. It's easy to tell how much you spent on your car. You just add up the receipts like I did. Ranting about a simple question is unnecessary and bizarre.

That's a bot you are replying to.
