MINI and BMW owners. Which cost more to maintain?

I'm about to buy either a MINI Cooper S or a BMW 3-series sedan. I know maintenance is going to be quite expensive for either since they are technically BMW. I know it's going to be nothing like my Honda which has needed nothing but oil changes for the past 5 years.

To the MINI and/or BMW owners out there, with the cost of the vehicle aside, which costs more to maintain annually? What does the maintenance schedule look like for those cars? Does the BMW maintenance cost more but is less frequent? Does the MINI's maintenance cost less but requires maintenance more frequently? Thank you!

    I have both and yes the mini needs maintenance more frequently. About the cost, its almost the same for both of them

    I'd agree--it'll be about the same, except that the MINI will have more problems during the course of its warranty.
