You seem a little upset at my post and Gary's. We did not ask you for your expert opinion on our maintenance lists. I believe someone asked about maintenance prices not for an analysis of how and why we ef'd up our cars. If you call auto x with short spings and thick sway bars abuse, I guess I have abused my sway bar mounts. I have seen M3's with 1/4 of my 190K miles that are in half the shape mine is mechanically. I will now step down off of my soap box.

You have welded your frame how many times? this is from abuse or poor workmanship of the welder, your choice in either case. out side of "normal wear items" ignition, brakes, fluids, you replaced the shocks @ 130,000 miles and you have had to replace the following in the last 5 years:
Power window switch, Seat belt latch, Side marker light, Starter, minor door trim, replaces the thremastat, replaced your fan clutch and a few gaskets. In five years on a 180,000 mile car. WTF do you want? Stuff wears out man!

Why new rod bearing? Someone forget the oil? or did they track a un-prepped car?
