I couldn't give you even ballpark figures for that maintenance schedule. However, I will tell you that the maintenance covered by BMW's warranties still leaves holes for you to take care of. They will not change your oild every 5,000 miles -- they will wait about 10,000; they will probably not change your transmission or differential fluid ever; and so forth and so on. By the way, your car does not have a timing belt -- it has a timing chain that does not need to be replaced.

I will tell you one thing, though: if you're planning on getting all your maintenance done at the dealership anyways (which I wouldn't recommend -- I think quality service is available from independent shops for less money), then you will save money by paying the $3,000- $5,000 that they will surely charge you right now.
