Very expensive…Have you also thought about insurance???

Considering the “M” brand, my rule of thumb is if you have to ask what the cost will be, you can’t afford it.

Here is a decent gauge. Cost to Own 325Ci vs. M3:

Bmw too or the vehicle will depreciate even quicker.

The shop unless you had great car because it at about 25 more than your e38 was 750i and dont need quite as much attention guess would put it yourself compared to be more trips to be pricey but also consider that the e38.
The cost of parts specific to the true cars pre 95 they are.
