Yea everything is covered here.. Down to windshield wipers and fluid. I don't know why it's not the same in Canada. To be honest it's one of the main reasons I buy a BMW.

It is not the same because we buy our cars from a different BMW sales organization, BMW of Canada instead of the incorrectly named BMW North America.

That said, it is the same in Canada, if we purchase the full maintenance upgrade at the time of vehicle purchase. We have the option of buying the vehicle for relatively less money, with only scheduled maintenance included. There are other differences, we can often get different option packages and colours. We actually get more choices, just not lower prices.

The US is the beneficiary of very low prices for new vehicles compared to the rest of the world.

And we don't have to pay $2000 for a full brake job here, that is a ridiculous price. I am not saying some dealers won't try to charge it, but it is possible to use another dealer, or buy OE parts from the dealer and have an independent mechanic install them, both for far less. The dealer quoting $2000 is simply counting on their customers not checking with anyone else for a second quote. Shows you what they think of their customers.

According to the price from Tisher(better price than any local dealer), parts alone will cost $1,465.73 USD not including any labor. So you can figure out how much it will cost for a whole brake job for a X5M/X6M here in Canada.

Left Front rotor(34116789069): $275.57
Right Front rotor(34116789070): $275.57
Front brake pad(34116799964): $292.05
Front wear sensor(34356792568): $18.62
Left Rear rotor(34216795318): $215.50
Right Rear rotor(34216795318): $215.50
Rear brake pad(34216794879): $153.38
Rear wear sensor(34356792571): $19.54

My dealership advertises $1099 for a late model V8 X5 brake job, both axles, including pads/disks/sensors and all labour, with a two year parts and service warranty, loaner vehicle, and a hand car wash. $466 for brake pads only, no disks, including labour.

I will defer to you on those prices for the M model, seems like they can see the M customers coming from a mile away.

or BMW charges more for parts of a higher performance car( bigger rotors, pads, etc), oh wait every manufacturer does that

Amortized over a lower production volume

Wonder why they had to design an M specific brake pad wear sensor for the rear axle? They managed to use the standard sensor on the front axle.

You are ignoring the big Items and talking about wear sensors? The rotors( the most expensive part) are bigger on the M model.

Not at all. Higher performance rotors would cost more in engineering and manufacturing. Just can't figure out what makes a brake wear sensor high performance.
