I did absolutely nothing apart of spark plugs and oil change . I had E90, 188k km, 330d until it meet it's end when I crash it to railguards. it never showed me any lights or anything so I would say around 60-80$ tops.
I almost went 200000 km on my bmw between spark plug changes, and the motor runs so much better after. My fuel economy almost doubled, and performance was a night and day difference
2005 Camry 2.4L just changed original plugs at 130k miles. I go 5k on synthetic oil and don't have to add any between oil changes.
I bought my 2019 330i in 2022. It was a lease return. While basic maintenance items are a lot more than, let’s say, a Toyota, it has been far from a money pit. I have put 50k miles on it in the three years I’ve had it, and had nothing out of the ordinary go wrong. Spark plugs, brake pads, air filters, tires, oil changes, that’s it.
It is, I have a 2020 330xi with 80k miles. It runs like a champ. Make sure you change out spark plugs. Most people don't. NGK's come with the car.
The tools aren’t expensive. Yes I use dielectric grease but not anti sieze on the threads (only because BMW orders us not to). Easy job for most cars.
I did my spark plugs on my 335i f30 and I can say one thing. $400 for labor on spark plugs is treason. Shit should take those "experienced" mechanics maybe an hour.
Customer had misfires, bought oem spark plugs and coil pack. Customer came back couple months later, misfire came back. Found that port injector was bad.
A regional tire store / repair center "recommend" spark plugs on my Sienna at 92K for $850 (intake manifold has to come off to get at 3 of the plugs). I asked them what benefit would there be in replacing spark plugs at 92K considering Toyota sets the spark plug replacement at 120K.
I dug factory installed spark plugs out of my recently departed E90... they looked like something from the stone age. 19 year old car, and from what I could tell, never had the plugs changes.
