How much have you spent??????????????

How much have you spent???????????????????

Hi Steve,
I reckon around £2500.00 in the 9 months i've owned it. The guy before said he spent around £17.000, the s/s exhuast alone was in excess of £1000. Im looking to get the car resprayed in the near future,not sure what thats gonna cost yet. I think theres two things that drain the pocket more & thats women & horses.

Re: How much have you spent??????????????

I have spent over EUR58,000 on service items & modifications for my 1991 850i and 1995 850Ci in Taiwan over the past three years. Almost every part is twice the price than in Europe here. But I really enjoy the car very very much!!!!!!!!

Roughly £3000 in 14 brilliant months of motoring...

And to hallworth1...
With 3 women 11 horses,3 dogs and 2 chickens....

I'm screwed!!!!

Lets see what I have spent in 2 years come May.

Tires $1200 Goodyear F1--should last more than a year

Bilstien Struts and shocks $800 or so (stock units worn out). Add H&R lowering springs and K-Mac camber plates and it comes to about $2000 to $2200 all aligned---Should last more than a year

3.64 differential to replace stock $700 installed, should last forever.

K bars $900-yet to be installed should be about $400 more installation cost. Another forever.

Front spoiler cost me a spare chip I had in the drawer and $180 to get it here and painted Silver.

Strut tower brace--$400+ DIY install.

Rear wheel bearing $70 and installed it myself right after purchase.

All Filters and oil changes $150 max for two years of service. That is unless Mt St Helens goes off and the wind is blowing the wrong way Add $60 for filters waiting in the garage.

Call it $5000 for two years and most of it is for play toys!!

I could get it into 5 figures with either a supercharger or a 6 speed conversion but both of those are too long term to add to the list.

This is for a '95 840 with 140,000 miles.

That is why they are expensive-Just like a girlfriend, they need Jewelry

My wife has decided to call mine my Mistress.

I really dont wnt to add my costs. It would frighten me!

I have spent more than half
again what I paid for the whole car but who cares.

I love it and would do it again.
