Careful what you wish for...

BMW and MB certainly build some amazing cars and I have to confess that I do occassionally lust after them. I had dinner with my brother inlaw last night and we got to talking about his BMW 540. He just spend $1800 on brakes at 80,000 miles (I assume that was all four). He also spent $2800 on a new clutch at the dealer. I thought that was bad enough, but he was telling me about his brother who had a MB S600 (the V12)which cost $130,000 new. I guess it was constantly in the shop and every time it went in it cost $2000-3000. He added up all the receipts and it cost him $10,000 a year to maintain it. When he traded it in at the dealer after 6 years, it was worth $18,000. Suddenly my humble little Saab looks pretty good.
