Learn the true cost of maintaining your BMW in Dubai and how you can find elite service at reasonable prices. 

BMW is one of the most popular luxury brands in the UAE. That’s because the German luxury maker understands how to blend top-notch engineering and timeless, sporty style. If you drive a BMW, then you will want to know how much it will cost to maintain the vehicle. Today, the team at Emirates Moto will give you an inside look at the cost of maintaining and servicing a BMW in the UAE.

Understanding the Costs of Maintaining Your BMW in the UAE

There are many factors when it comes to determining the cost of maintaining your BMW. Here, we will consider the average cost by BMW model, maintenance cost by vehicle type, and long-term maintenance costs. 

Average Costs by Models Can Vary

BMW has one of the most extensive line-ups of luxury vehicles. Because of that, you can expect a wide variety of pricing when it comes to maintenance costs. On the lower end of the spectrum, you have the BMW 1 Series which has an average repair cost of around AED 2,000 for minor work. Moving up to the X5 SAV, you can expect to pay an average of AED 2,900 for minor repair work. At the high end of the spectrum, there is the 7-Series large six luxury sedan which can cost about AED 3,100 for minor repair work. 

Maintenance on Sedans and Coupes Vs. SAVs

Be aware that maintenance costs on SAVS or Sports Activity Vehicles may be a little higher if you off-road your vehicle. That is because off-roading your SAV can lead to accelerated wear on your vehicle’s tires, brakes, and suspension. Overall, you can be expected to have certain services more often including tire rotations, tire replacement, brake replacement, and wheel alignment service. 

Long Term Repair Costs 

The average driver can expect to have their vehicle for about 7 to 10 years. Therefore, it is important to consider the overall long-term maintenance costs. As a German luxury vehicle, BMWs will tend to have higher than average overall long-term maintenance costs. 

Over 10 years, it could cost about AED 50,000 to maintain a BMW 3-Series. For a BMW 5-Series, you can expect to spend about AED 58,000. On the high end of the range, you can be expected to spend about AED 70,000 for 10 years of maintenance on a 7-Series. 

The total cost of maintenance will include the service as well as the parts. In most cases, you can expect to use Original Manufacturer Equipment (OEM) BMW parts. OEM parts are exact duplicates of the original BMW parts on your vehicles. While the upfront cost of the parts are higher, OEM parts are designed to last longer which can help lower your overall expenses. 

Tips to Save on Maintenance of BMW Vehicles in Dubai

Since maintenance can play a big role in the overall costs of owning a BMW, it is important to know which steps one can take to lower expenses. The most important money-saving tip is to keep up with regularly scheduled maintenance visits. These visits allow a BMW-certified service technician to service your BMW and reduce the chances of unexpected repairs down the road. Be sure to check your BMW service contracts to see exactly what work is completed during the visit. 

Another way to save on maintenance costs is to perform your DIY maintenance. That includes regulating the air pressure in your tires, cleaning the exterior, and replacing washed fluid as needed. Finally, you can save on your maintenance costs by choosing a service center that offers affordable, professional service.
