If you are keeping the BMW forever, if it is out of warranty then you will have to find independent shops to service it or pay out your butt to pay the repairs/maintenance at the dealership. BMW forums like bimmerfest have more info about this.

How much does it really cost to maintain a car in the first 4 years? Might be food for thought. Unless you're letting the dealership do all your oil changes, it shouldn't really be that much.

Don't be fooled.
BMW's maintenenance program is not what it used to be. It is easy to see that the bean counters have definately taken over. Sure the oil changes are free... every 12,000 miles. I needed to get an alignment after 13,000 miles and got charged over $200. Yep, just for an alignment. As someone else already said, they still make their money.
But I love my car. If I wanted the best warranty/maintenance program possible, I would have purchased a Mercedes.
As for the comparos, you pay less for the G37 because, for the most part, you get less of a car.

When I bought my FX, the dealer gave me 4 years oil change service free. That was every 3700 miles. Included in that oil service are all the lubrication parts, all fluid filled up, car wash in and out.
My M Coupe goes to the dealer once a year or 12k (except the first 1200 miles). It is nice don
