I'm starting to have second thoughts about the maintenance cost of my 2016 C650 Sport. I should have asked before. I read about the 6000 mile service costing $1,500. If that is true? I will get rid of it. $1,500 is almost 10% of the price of the scooter. That's the equivalent of a $4,000 service on a $50,000 car. No way I'm going to pay more to maintain this scooter than I have with every car (and bike) that I've ever owned in the past. My current car (Audi S3), and my last car (BMW 330i) cost less to maintain than this scooter. I'm going to do the $350 600 mile service and that's it. If service is going to cost me that much? then I will have to get rid of it. I cannot afford the maintenance. I have to do the math, but maintenance cost for this vehicle at about the 15k mile mark, will add up to about half the cost of the vehicle. I hope I'm wrong.
I don't know if it's the labor that cost so much, or if BMW thinks that folks who buy these things have plenty of money. But It seems like I bit off more than I'm willing to chew.
