BMW M5 E39 Cost Maintenance - How expensive is it really?
Re Why German cars expensive to maintain repair.
Vant, Germany in general, I think is very expensive 40 of their salary goes to taxes.
I once had filled gas no gas coupon AAFES It cost me about 80 to 00 that the gas tank of gas is about 3 to a minimum of 50 liters or more.
Eating is very expensive An average meal at McDonalds is July 00 here in Germany, it is December 00.
I can see why the transfers in auto repair.
My Porsche 944S2 needed a tune up tune up this cost me 1200 for the typical air bullshit up sheets of stuff, son, belts, the labor-intensive Nothing I swapped the car a year later.
When I lived in Germany, my rent was 1,900 a month in a house Go Figure 30.
So I can not explain why, I can share my stories It is very expensive to live there gas, food, insurance, leasing etc. Everything.

I hear the German cars have just a little electrical problems that end no first-hand knowledge, I admit But if German engineering is so great, why did they break even in the first place Ok, all can break, but I require superior engineering an easy repair, not expensive.
I'm not saying that the US engineering is better, but I've grown wary of any German engineering being put on a pedestal as is a god sent.
As a side note, I have a soft spot for Audi cars, mostly the S5 though, but it's because of the sex appeal of its lines rather than any engineering behind Fr.
Re Why German cars expensive to maintain repair.
Thank you guys for information The reason I ask this question because I have never owned a German car in my life, that Japan and the US in fact I haven t had very many cars at all but I am many inside and they do not really use much better materials than the competition or maybe it just feels that way in any case, they seem to be built with pride, unlike other brands .
The after-warranty costs are what has kept me away in the past, I tend to keep their vehicles for a long time which is obviously the risk of financing repairs out of pocket at some point, by example, I heard that you never want to own a BMW and out of warranty then there's the old joke about how to make a small fortune with a Porsche start with a large fortune.
8Godzla you trust buying a used E46 M3-warranty Or do you think it would be just a money pit.
Seamus Thanks for your comments about the C6Z If you had the choice between a more C5Z E46 M3 or C6Z, who would you choose.
Re Why German cars expensive to maintain repair.
I had a bimmer and two VW s - niether was also areliable my 02 Z06 or one of my two Mini Coopers better build quality I won t say I would say it is the price of labor unions there have them over a larger Barrell the UAW did here weeks short of work - the month of August off, and several weeks of vacation - and cost enormous health care paid by taxes on individuals and businesses My company works with Airbus We have set up a production facility in Germany in the 80s to win a portion of their business with a domestic content of five years, we Brough whole back and gave them a price reduction.

I must say that I agree I convert my total German cars these days, since winning the M5 few months back my love for her is C5Z raw performance, but embarrassing compared the quality from construction to Bimmer as for beer, cars, and guns, hand do these Germans this is painful to say as an American English.

I think you hit it on the head saying they build cars proudly Certainly so.
In addition to BMW, you want to own an Audi without warranty Moreover, nothing that uses a turbo - unless you are willing to pay for this stuff out of pocket.

Vant Hey, I've never felt the C6Z worth the price for what it is, not what it can do to have led three belonging to two of the three, I can say hands down that I buy C5Z the M3 is a second position C5Z was appropriatley price and is a hell of a lot of fun I'll be in the market for another, it's raw, I feel handles better, very cheap to keep, which is part of the experience feeling in the property at any time something goes wrong costs money and you need to ask is worth it to me for this experience with this car and my answer has always been yes possess the almost C5Z everything is just reasonable for today's price C5Z you can t go wrong tires, rotors, while cheap buffers by adding a more pleasant experience with the car C6Z is ridiculous with prices tires, rotors and buffer that has always irritated ar two tires Rière cost $ 1,100 on C6Z you can rotors, pads and tires for a C5Z LOL If you want your money and fun and eas y keep C5Z If you anal retentive, are to fit, finish and quality as the Dockers port and boat shoes, but don t mind spending more to fix it M3 LOL I have a Bimmer so I can say I'm going back to a C5Z myself, but keeping the Bimmer.

Hey Geoff, I hear ya I heard the same thing, but never lived with one of five German cars Vee I owned to this day, but I have never read a good thing on a car I researched a bfr forum purchase LOl most are there with their problems, I'm a car nut and just spent my day polishiing my 07 GMC pickup truck as it was a Ferrari now looks like glass, I do not know how easily explain, but driving and German interview is different and I d better say every little thing seems better thought right down to a little silly lock just shut the door Bimmer and you can feel it is it better yes it's worth, I do not know why apart from VW when I buy Bimmer or Mercedes I used, I think they are too expensive new also on a side note, I a retired sergeant in the highway patrol and saw n Shady horrific accidents over the years my three choices to put my family would be 1 Volvo and Mercedes cars and solid Bimmer.
Why German cars expensive to maintain, German cars expensive.
