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.

Well its obvious BMW would depreciate more, more 745 and 545 on the road.
