My warranty is out, so I will have to pay for all future services. I should have thought about it before I bought the "fancy" ride. Oh well, gotta suck it up now. Ive heard from 65 to 1000 for regular old normal oil change nothing major. Also, any one have any major or common issues with this car?

Living in Germany I get to work on Beemers all the time. The only thing special about changing the oil is trying to reset the maintenance light. The tool is really exspensive so some shops charge around $35.00 just to reset the light.
Any import car repair shop worth their money should be able to change your oil and reset the light for around $30 plus oil. Depending on what you put in it look around $50. If the light doesn't bother you just have jiffy lube change the oil.
Depending on the year there is a way to reset the reminder lights using a piece of wire and a light bulb or a circuit tester. Most import shops should know how to do this.

Oil changes are more or less the same. You should check your oil cap or owners handbook for your fluid types. It should tell you how much oil the car will take as well as what type. You should be able to do it yourself with the experience you currently have. As for your brakes, Brake systems are a closed hydraulic system...I wouldn't mess with it unless you really need to. Are you actually boiling your brake fluid? i doubt it. Brake fluid is recommended to be changed because the fluid will absorb water over time and that lowers it's boiling point. if you break heavy you can get water to boil causing air in the lines. if your brakes bite good and the pedal doesn't feel "spongy" then don't worry about brake fluid, keep the system closed. if you need to bleed it a little...but i doubt your doing hard enough braking to justify this. it's one of those book maintenance things that a lot of mechanics love to tell you that you need even when you don't.

i own a repair shop,and i don't know who told you that but it doesn't cost much more than regular oil change for a regular car,people like to charge more because its an expensive car,i do them here at the shop,and grease everything on them for $29.95 every day,and yours isn't any different,that's the problem with owning a nice car people always try and over charge you for the work they do on it,good luck i hope this help,s.
