Comment on Cost of owning a BMW i3parentComments−Traster7yPeople do understand the difference, my household drives around 3000 miles per year, so telling me that a brake change once every 10 years is important is kind of ridiculous.It gets down almost entirely to personal behaviour.−jbarberu7yAgreed. I just replaced my wife's brakes, rotors and pads, at a grand total of $350.
