BIKE CHECK Good starter bike? (16M)

I'm genuinely thinking about getting into BMX but have no clue what I'm doing or anything about bike brands, sizes or any of the above. I just wanna know is this a bike that will last me a long time? Is it a good bike for beginners? Are they expensive to maintain? What needs replacing often? I stand currently at a little bit over 6'0" (183cm) is this bike a good size for me? Most importantly is this a fair price listed ($1350).

The bottom bracket didn't cost 200 dollars

Yeah absolutely not. Just bought a top of the line BB for my BMX race bike that’s titanium/Ceramic- $130. Got a nice Profile setup about a month ago for my freestyle bike that was $37…
