Just out of curiosity, I wanted to calculate how much I spent on both maintenance and installs for the E90 M3 in 2023 and figured I’d make a video out of it. Before I owned an E9X M3 I always watched these type of videos so I wanted to make one based off my own experience in case anyone else was curious!
In 2023, I put about 17,000 miles on the E90 M3 and within those miles I did these maintenance items.
-3 oil changes ($235-$250 per change)
-Fuel Breather Valve replacement ($220 in labor + $95.78 in parts)
-Spark Plugs replacement ($220 in labor + $162.64 in parts)
-Valve Cover/Timing Cover replacement ($763.68 in parts and labor)
-Hood Strut replacement ($36.79 in parts)
-E46 M3 oil cap ($39.95 in parts)
Here is a breakdown of the installations I did in 2023.
-Valved Axleback install ($300)
-X Pipe Install ($250)
Rough total cost of everything: $3000 (accounting for taxes and small costs I might have missed)
Besides one oil change, all of these jobs were done at Precision Designed! I highly recommend this shop, they do great work and have the best prices for E9X M3 jobs in OC.
