As usual, Derek and his colleagues know what they are doing and they are able to keep my wife's 2007 BMW X3 (3.0 Si, 6 speed manual) on the road - and the associated cost is reasonable. Remarkably, our 15 year old X3 drives almost like new although it is approaching 250,000km on the clock. Accordingly, there is nothing to be gained if we were to buy a new BMW at the reported list price of $84,000.
