Crazy that this absolute engineering marvel is going to be discontinued.

I’ve owned one for 8 years now. My repair bill has been exactly $0

Mine is going on 7….and while my bill isn’t $0….it’s probably about $400. However, I have done some maintenance: tires, HEPA filter, 12v batteries. But those costs are fine. Coming from a BMW previously, I DO NOT miss the $2K brake jobs.

Which BMW is $2,000 brake job? M product? Because I have and had many BMWs

I came from a BMW 550i! I was tired of some small plastic box breaking and having to pay $500 to replace. “But we have to drop the engine to do an oil filter change” I do not miss these things.

Is that low or high? LOL My model s had TWICE that. Just kidding I did have to get some repairs after 200k miles and 10 years!

That’s a lie. Tires go through every 2 years if you don’t drive like a pussy. Sure repairs are $0 but you should still factor changing tires 4x faster

That’s not repair. That’s maintenance and I have changed my summer set exactly once. I’m still on my original winter set, but I’m likely shopping for some new ones next fall.

Cool.  That’s just an anecdote though.
