Listed price on Mobile1 would be around $7-8 a pop plus filter labor and waste charges $125 is reasonable
Recomendations. Try to use BG products. Even though it's expensive, it

The place I have taken my car for the last 8+ years isn't cheap, but they are cheaper than a dealer. I wish that they worked on Infinitis. The reason I go there is that they are VERY honest with you about everything. My oil changes, with Mobil1 are between $60-$65. For regular BMW brand oil, around $50. Yes, thats a lot more than your neighborhod Jiffy Lube, but if you go to Jify Lube and bring your own case of Mobil1 that you paid $25 for, they won't discount you the oil and you end up paying $50 total anyway.
Wal-Mart auto service centers will actually do Mobil1 oil changes for $35!!!! I can't get the BMW done there because they don't carry the filter, and wont allow you to bring one and cant order one for you :-(
Only electrical problems that I have really heard of with aNY consistancy from that series BMW have been window motors, door locks sticking (still work with the key though) & vanity mirror lights. Individual cars will have individual problems, of course.
Call me a n00b... what are BG products?

Therefore they spell it with a "C" which comes before the the "K" in the alphabet. Does that mean that since I am "T"aiwanese, that I just lost the asian ethnicity race to be first? LOL

I run a auto shop I would probably know about car more then half the people in this forum. Decade ago I would of said HYUNDAI was a POS but right now I see it better then half cars in the market. To know a car, car must be driven, it would tell you how it rides , feels , and what it's capable of.
1. Toyota/ Lexus
2. Hyundai/ Their yet-to-be-launched luxury brand
3. Nissan/ Infiniti
4. Honda/ Acura
As for the former big-3, who do you guys think will still be around let alone American? One's already German, after all.

Especially since that "G35 killer" will probably be 60 to 75% of the list price that the G will be.
From what I remember, everyone loves the G, because of what? Oh yea, it's such a bang for the buck compared to a what? Oh yeah, Bimmers. Come on just because Hyundai's are cheaper in most respect to the G doesn't mean that the company isn't advancing. Come to think of it, this thread sounds a lot like the Bimmer forums do. Go figure.

didnt sit around & read the 8+ pages of comments but went thru a few & first off yea most of u guys sound really arrogant like the G is a Ferrari or Lambo or somethin.
all car companies know now more HP = more sales
I dont doubt Hyundai will make a car faster or a better bang for buck than the G
lets think ....back in 99 if someone said Dodge has a new Neon coming out in a few yrs, its really fast, matter of fact its faster than a Type-R integra u woulda laughed ur a$$ off correct? ...then comes the SRT-4 ...think about it
the cons ...I do feel no matter how fast or good looking of a car Hyundai makes ...most of them will never make it to see 100k miles before the engine dies & thats real!!
question of the day ....who's ever seen a Hyundai with 200k miles on it better yet 150k on it

SOOOO TRUE! You made and excellent point!
And as for the G community coming off arrogant, like the G is a Ferrari... the way I personally look at it... its not that the progession of cars is eventually going to catch up and pass us by... but the fact that its a Hyundai! Thats just barely half a step up over a daewoo! lol. I will hate the day that this becomes a reality... but at the same time, aplaud Hyundai for stepping it up in such a huge way.

'Nuff said there.
20 years ago, if you had told anyone that the company that makes this:
Would make a car like this, that targets high-end benzes
You would have been laughed out of the room.
History repeats itself all the time, so don't be so quick to write off a potential competitor. The ones who do that are the ones that get surpassed...right mercedes?

Alot of dealers use the products.
I lived in Korea for 5 years and they acctually have alot of thier cars supercharged and turbocharged. they even have a mini van that's fitted with a V8... It wouldnt be surprising if they came out with something FI'd in the states...
