Considering pulling the trigger on a 2011 BMW 328i (e90), manual, around 80-100k miles. What should I budget yearly for regular maintenance/repairs on this type/age of car?

I’d estimate $1,200 annually on average. But that assumes it’s been well maintained to date. Please find a great independent mechanic near you who specializes in BMWs. He can do an inspection and point out where you are likely to spend $ in the coming years.

Will you be doing the wrenching or taking somewhere (ideally an independent BMW-focused shop).

I would generally prefer to take it to an Indy shop but could wrench on relatively minor things like brake pads or easy fixes that don’t require removing parts of the engine

Also, if you’ve never owned a Bimmer, look into the Inspection II that’s normally done around 40-50k miles (about $2k). A lot of folks skip it and there are all these little leaks that could have been missed.

I’d agree with the S1s estimate.
