Carbob, I recognize that you are a cut above most BMW owners in terms of spending the money to keep it running. And for that I appreciate you.

But when you said $46,807 on maintenance over these twenty years, or 44 cents/mile, THAT IS INSANE. Is driving the X5 every day worth the price of a new 4Runner, which you could drive and it would cost you probably closer to 2 cents/mile to drive?

(I actually bought a new Toyota a while back and drove it for 140k miles, and averaged 1.8 cents per mile over the cost of ownership -- most of which was just on tires!)

The only logical conclusion is that Carbob hates money. I rest my case.
