So yeah, probably around $1000-1500.

While that's not that much spread out over a few years as an owner of a $65k car, likewise, it's a very cheap move by BMW to pull this.

Not that it's going to effect me, I'm going to be the first owner anyways.
My E92 M3 got rotors and pads replaced which I'm told is a $2000 job. I also just got spark plugs, rear differential fluid, oil change and cabin filter done, I was told that would've been another roughly $1500- $2000. Had I been the second owner and Bmw asked me to pay out-of-pocket, I would've preferred not to. So for me, if ever a secondhand buyer, I would consider the maintenance costs a little more closely.
