jesus fucking christ

He got fucked.
Plus it's mostly labor.
Working on V12s is a shit show.

I feel sorry for normies.

>$1180 clutch
Wtf

Lol I replaced the whole clutch set for 80£ (100$) for my 2004 325i
60£ part 20£ labour

>At 45k miles $4,520

And this is precisely where I would have bailed on it - tossed it up on Craigslist and fobbed it off on the next sucker.

>smallest thing goes wrong
hurpa derpa gotta go to the dealer. you can own this car affordably if you buy a nice example from the beginning and know how to wrench somewhat.

Dude owned it for 3 years, spent 50k in repairs on it, figure he bought the car for another 50, that breaks down to roughly $3000/mo....

Think about that, the kinds of cars you could get for $3000/mo financed new, with a bumper to bumper warranty.

Literally would you rather an old 8 series or a brand new Lamborghini....

Id rather an old 8 series than a brand new lamborghini, and I hate old BMW's

You know what I mean.

I guess it's pretty obvious why these old 12 cylinder cars are basically worthless.

It's basically restored dude. All OEM. And getting fucked by an independent probably, paying out the ass for labor.
It's also a V12 and the car is rare and out of production.

I mean you could easily afford this car with aftermarket parts and your own labor. It's just a car like any other.

Maybe he really liked that car? They're hot af.

He obviously paid someone to do that.

Most shops will rate a clutch job at 700+ regardless of car.

Sure, it was obviously an affair of the heart.

It just doesn't make much financial sense, but cars usually don't.

Personally, at $3000/mo, I'd rather have a new car with better power and handling, but that's just me. I suppose if I could get pic related for $3000/mo I would.

Yeah well you're a bench racer so.. Your opinion sounds like that of someone building a gaming PC.

>this much butthurt
bmwfangirl, please.

I literally hate the 850? Project more.

>tfw 8's are too expensive for a poorfag like me
I want one to complete my V12 ensemble. I know they can get expensive but if I've survived this long with my sevens without things getting too painful, I think I could shelter one more love hungry car.

>getting this assmad just because I say buying an old beemer and spending 3k/mo on it doesn't make sense when it's outclassed by just about anything post 2005 especially in the 3k/mo finance new category
>unless you really love beemers I guess

I'm not sure exactly what I said that was so mightily triggering to you, but it's pretty clear you're a fangirl by your asshurt.
