I figure we have put another $6K in tires, batteries, repairs, etc in the car. That figures out to around $1.5K a year for the car. It has 170K miles on it and still runs great, getting around 32mpg on the highway. <br /><br />We also have an 2006 Saturn as a tow car with 110K miles on it and an initial cost of $23K. We have put another $4K into the car in repairs, tires, batteries, etc and love the car. I would buy another one if they were still being produced. That averages out to around $4.5K a year for the Saturn. <br /><br />When you look at the cost of both cars, the BMW is actually the better bargain. You can't even begin to compare the ride and handling of the two cars and if we could tow it behind the motorhome, we would only have one car.<br /><br />Just my personal experience with a BMW. Love it! <br /><br />Of course, if we bought one now the initial cost would be greater.Clark Ramblinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713435758075556066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625049441358125186.post-36404642703496845092012-05-17T10:35:20.680-04:002012-05-17T10:35:20.680-04:00Very interesting.

With the wining and dining of the owners, No wonder they cost so much! Not how I'd spend that much money even if I had it but I suppose for the folks who buy them it's just one of their toys. Are these guys those 1%? They sure aren't the folks who have been hurt by the continuing recession. Wonder if BMW even noticed there was a recession. :-))Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625049441358125186.post-13349652412710128322012-05-17T10:19:58.685-04:002012-05-17T10:19:58.685-04:00We have driven past this museum several times and ...We have driven past this museum several times and never stopped. We are both glad someone did a review. Now we know what we will be in store for.
