No idea what they charge honestly, as I always change my own oil outside of the free maintenance. BMWs here are the same MSRP as everywhere else in the US, and no markup unless it’s a special rare model. I even got a couple thousand off mine without asking while I was signing the lease paperwork.
Other dealerships are much more cutthroat when it comes to markups and availability. The BMW dealer here makes most of their money on CPO and used car sales as well as service.
As for the cost of living here, everything pretty much has to be shipped in, but labor corrupt state government, taxes on everything, plus the lack of affordable housing……there are a hundred reasons why it’s so expensive to live here.
