jesus fucking christ

>>17258323
He got fucked.
Plus it's mostly labor.
Working on V12s is a shit show.

I feel sorry for normies.

>>17258323
>$1180 clutch
Wtf

>>17258341
Lol I replaced the whole clutch set for 80£ (100$) for my 2004 325i
60£ part 20£ labour

>>17258323
>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.

>>17258323
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....

>>17258382
Id rather an old 8 series than a brand new lamborghini, and I hate old BMW's

>>17258399
You know what I mean.

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

>>17258382
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.

>>17258382
Maybe he really liked that car? They're hot af.

>>17258341
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.

>>17258503
Yeah well you're a bench racer so.. Your opinion sounds like that of someone building a gaming PC.

>>17258512
>this much butthurt
bmwfangirl, please.

>>17258517
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.
