I know the BMW's are pricy to maintain but it has new clutch and fly wheel, new performance catalatic converter and O2 sensor. so kinda all most all the areas that the bmw's fail in that kind of millage has been taken care of. it's manual so dnt have to worry about the common automatic tranny frailer. cooling system, brakes, rotors, control arms and busings are my conserns... (correct me if im wrong). i know i might run up to some repairs in the acura too. Is maintainers in acura as expensive as BMW's, lesser? lesser like honda? what do you guys think??? anything is more than welcome!!

The RL will be cheaper to maintain in the long run. Go to to any parts website and compare routine maintenance (air filter, oil filter etc.) items and see for yourself.

They are very different cars. The RL is a lot larger while the BMW 3 series handles better. More sporty...
