[QUOTE="tequilashots, post: 443727, member: 1295"] Statistical analysis friends, i've managed to kill some time to have a statistical analysis of e46 for your reference. Using the infos given by previous threads, i have compiled and created a nice cost equation that could be useful to estimate your maintenance costs next time. the equation i've come up is : Cost, RM = 1721.6*Ln(Num of Items) - 1976.6 Just plug in the number of items you anticipate (or spent) to a scientific calculator. Mind you this utilizes a natural logarithmic function. The num of items is subjective whether the service is major or minor. Minor service I can suggest is four (4) num of items and major can start at ten (10) items. Another useful indication is that if the actual cost is higher, it's either your car has a major problem or the items you're paying is actually higher than they already are. Good luck and appreciate some comments ir. tequilashots [/QUOTE]
