E55 Maintenance cost

I know the regular service is free until the warranty expires. But what about after the warranty expires? Does E55 cost a lot to maintain? Do pople usually just get a new one after the warranty expires. I kind of like to keep it longer....

Thanks

:p

the Service A & B after warranty is kinda expensive. I think Service A is the minor one (one wrench in the MFD), which runs about $250 I believe and the Service B is the major one (two wrenches in the MFD) runs about $450.

It varies between dealers, but for the most part, ballpark around those figures.

BTW, MFD is multi-function display

Our ML is outta warranty (well, the service wasn't included to begin with), but it was a few hundred every time

Yeah, the B usually includes everything in A plus alignment and maybe a couple of other items. Then there are the other items like brake fluid flush, coolant renewal, etc. which are not on the A or B intervals. Dealer price will vary and will always be higher than the independent shop.

I have maintenance done independently and repairs done at the dealer. I have found that sometimes the independents are not up to speed on some of the newer cars and can take a while before they figure out the problem.
