....I too owned a BMW once... That warm and fuzzy german engineering feeling disappears real quick when them ”Codes come a callin”

Point well taken. Here’s my spin:

For that reason I bought a 8 year/100k warranty and a 8 year/100k Maintenance package for $3600 that covers among other things brake pads and rotor milling (comes in handy tracking it, already went through a set after 8k miles :) I was at about 40k with a base RS....Done!
