The biggest shock to me was how much the parts cost vs my old IS300.

For example, an oil change kit is about $150 for just parts! I took it to a local shop and they did it for $220.

Another thing is brake rotors. This isn't every year, but the rotors are $300 each. Rotors for a normal 3 series are roughly half of that, < $150.

Also, tires are expensive in the M3 sizing, roughly $300-$400 each depending which brand/size you get. Plus its staggered so you can't rotate the tires.

I realize a 10 would still be under warranty but I'm just wondering what your guys experience has been maintenance wise. Also would an 09/10 M3 really be that much more to maintain vs an 11/12 335i m sport/turbo? Thanks for the help!
