Edit: learn to work on the car, that way out of warrantty costs are low. Parts tend to be the same, despite popular belief, i had a honda and mitsubishi before too, and those parts cost almost the same

Must adress two things:
1) How in the heck has your neighbor
averaged 45,000+/yr miles on a single vehicle for over six years? That's almost like driving full-time for work.
2) The newer BMWs are difficult to work on yourself, as stated before. BMW has been removing self-service features and employing special tools that you as an owner can't get your hands on. The point is to get the vehicles into the dealership to have things fixed. Parts also are more expensive for BMWs. I do most of the customization work on my cars, and the parts for my '91 BMW have been as expensive as my '00 Acura and '06 Chrysler.
