Going from a BMW 135i to a 2014 Porsche Cayenne will obviously cost more in maintenance (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-much-do-maintenance-costs-increase-by-mileage-by-maddy-martin) through the years. From special procedures during repairs, more expensive parts and higher labor costs, you can only expect the upkeep costs to...
Hello. It is not a recommended mileage (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-long-do-brake-pads-last) to change the pads but to inspect them every time the tires are rotated or vehicle is serviced. The pads should be changed when they are worn down at the thinnest part...
