The high cost of maintaining a BMW 5 Series in Pakistan is due to several factors:

Imported parts: Most components are not locally manufactured and must be imported from Europe o r Dubai.

Limited trained technicians: BMW cars need specialized diagnostics and tools, which not every workshop has.

High cost of OEM parts: Genuine BMW parts are expensive compared to Japanese car parts.

Electronic complexity: The car’s numerous sensors and electronic modules require special attention and often replacement if damaged.

Solution:
To manage costs:

Use trusted BMW specialists o r German car-specific workshops instead of general mechanics.

Import parts directly through trusted vendors o r websites.

Follow the recommended service schedule to avoid major breakdowns.
