Comparing parts prices of the 911 and other cars

When I mention owning a 911 to other car guys, a common reaction is, "Parts prices must be through the roof!"
While some parts do seem crazy, other parts have been more reasonable than you'd expect.

I thought it could be interesting to spot check a handful of consumable parts prices across a few different cars
(not exceptional niche parts like an OEM Fuchs, steering wheel, center console, etc)

Feel free to add your own, if you think this thread could lead to interesting discussion.
It may also be useful for new people who are considering a 911.

To start, I went to Amazon for some basic consumables....

Air filter
Honda: $13
BMW: $18
911: $11

Oil filter:
Honda: $6
BMW: $8
911: $13

Shock absorber:
Honda: $20
BMW: $100
911: $200

Brake Rotors:
Honda: $35
BMW: $60
911: $75

Valve Cover Gasket set
Honda: $30
BMW: $22
911: $22

Spark Plug wires
Honda: $35
BMW: $50
911: $137
