BMW does free maintenance, why not 'free tickets' for G37

I heard BMW maintenance only did oil changes and other things at the maximum interval.
So if manual says oil change every 9k miles thats when they will do it and not any sooner.
So if you are like me and do oil changes more frequently than the manual says, you are screwing the pouch on a BMW.

Slight premium? A similarly equipped BMW would have run me about $8,000 more than I paid for my G and have less HP. The maintenance they do for you would only run you that much because they overcharge for everything. And they don't really do all that much for you in 4 years, really.

^ covering everything but tires on your car for 4 years isn't really doing anything? Oil, tune ups, brakes, rotors, fluids, actual car washes that dont scratch your car, lunch... Okay.... Go back to Infiniti and ask them to just do that for you because it isn't really anything and see what they say.....

Interesting, but completely wrong.
S brake pads and rotors are ****. Had I not fought with service to replace them UNDER WARRANTY I would have spent upwards of $700 replacing them, and the aggravation I had to deal with to get them to pay for it was insane.
Oil changes? $40 every 3 months.
Less horsepower? Even if you want to say that BMW didn't advertise the 335 with less WHP than it actually makes (countless dynos prove this) the lack of actual torque that we have in this car is abysmal and again, the 335 makes more.
Also, I can get a 335xi 6MT with M package fully loaded for maybe $30 a month more than what I pay now, and with that I get no aggravation to replace parts that should be replaced under warranty, I get a solidly built car with no rickets and creaks and squeaks and moans, I get free maintanance, and a german car, not a piece of **** Nissan. God I hate this car.

If you're changing your oil at the dealership every 3 months then you're wasting your money (unless you put 6k+ miles every 3 months). And you're using monthly payments as an argument? 30 more bucks a month for 60 months (the average payment term) is 1800 more bucks at the end of the term. Might not sound like a lot of money for a "superior" car but it still $1800.
I think you had a lemon G. It happens, even to those superior German cars. My '08 has no rattles or squeaks as of yet, it's not perfect I have scratched interior door handles and steering wheel paint is peeling off but the car itself still feels very tight.

Why do you even own a G then? Get rid of it if you hate it so much, I guarantee you'll be much happier.

Trust me, if I wasn't bound to the lease because IFS doesn't let you transfer the lease into someone elses name, I would. Until then, I need to wait a few more months.
Exactly. Or, you know, the fact that I can't get rid of it yet. Tard.
