if you add depreciation, insurance cost to the service cost, he could probably buy a new small car every year for what it costs to drive the lambo

You want to talk about expensive with "luxury cars"? I drove a freakin' 04 Mini Cooper S (which actually IS a BMW now, technically), the power steering pump alone was $600. Labor not included, just the unit. It actually was a common problem and something that did not happen to me thankfully.

However, the driver side window motor and regulator had to be entirely replaced. The car was used and out of warranty and the parts + labor was over $1000 if I remember correctly!

Luckily I did all the work myself. My prize was a working window and a BMW special tool

PR, you still on the forum? Because I just got back from San Juan, and all I have to say is I can completely understand why you traded the Z for an M5. The roads are probably the worst I've ever been on..and I live in Pennsylvania, which routines gets rated as having the worst highways in the country. I have never seen so many potholes, even around here in winter.

While I was there (for almost a week) I saw one 40th anniverary, and one black roadster. Saw a couple vettes, couple of Cayman S, and not much else in the performance department.

Hope you enjoying the Beemer!
