Right, but the difference between economy cars and luxury cars is that the owners of the latter are typically thought to be affluent enough where they either don't want to get their hands dirty or don't have time to do any maintenance because their time is a lot more valuable, and for the most part, I think this is correct.
Now, you and I as used car buyers don't fall into that category, but as I mentioned before, BMW doesn't particularly care about the used car market. They just care about new car buyers and leases, and for these, all the maintenance is already included, so again, no reason for a typical owner to even raise the hood.
