I mean it's a car, they're going to require maintenance at some point, you can't avoid that. Everyone always says "Oh it's German and it's going to cost an arm and a leg to fix" Yes. It will. However, if you don't run the car into the ground and keep it well maintained (which assuming you would because, well, you're probably a car guy being on a forum such as this one), the car will perform day in and day out. I thoroughly enjoy the car, much more than I did with the FX even after the mods. I really plan on keeping it for as long as I can.

Well, that's the thing, even with routine maintenance, as a rule...German cars will be harder to work on, and will require a much more expensive part (when compared with an american/jap one).
That's what's kept me away...I would love one, one day...but I've been warned by my very handy self working on german engineering high school friend...to be prepared. He's the same guy that steered me from buying his E46 M3 from him.
That said, don't get defensive about it...people say it because it's true, that doesn't mean that your car sucks. Quite the opposite...I wish you many years of maintenance free enjoyment!

It's more of a "saving my money for things I want" than "yolo."
