My Ride: 2006 550i Black Saphire/Black Dakota Leather- Loaded- M5 Appearance Package, Sport Package, Pro logic 7 Premium Sound, Navigation, Cold Weather Package, Comfort Package, Heads-up Display, park Distance Control, Bluetooth, Active Steering, Electric Rear Sunshade, Rear Folding Seats, Front/Rear Heated Seats, Xenon lights, Satelite Radio- Extended Maintenance, CPO (Considering Tire/Wheel Insurance)

In all seriousness...what's so different than BMW? I have a 550i...if anything goes wrong with the car outside of warranty, fugettaboudid!! Everything is so f'in expensive. Replacing 1 Tire on my car is $569...that is not including the wheel/Rim.

Exhaust, tranny, or anything is thousands too.

You are doing something very wrong if you're paying $569 for one tire.

That is very interesting, however if you look at the 2005 Maserati Quattroporte vs. the 745 or 545 the Maserati is worth more. Considering that they had similar value when new.
