We bought the car used and had to sink some money into it right off the bat, for items not covered by the seller's warranty. Wondered about the choice for the first year. Then the car settled down and we've had routine maintenance since. It's a joy to drive, city or highway, and it's a joy for passengers. If you don't keep up with routine maintenance, and replace things at the first sign of trouble, expect to sink a lot of money into repairs. We do routine maintenance, and change the oil frequently, and we've been very satisfied. We plan to run the car for ten more years at least.

Do BMWs courtesy inspection before buying an older BMW. All seals are super expensive to fix, actually everything on this car is expensive to fix. Given it's huge base price when new should clue the owner into its costs to maintain. I have spent $9k in maintenance and the costs keep adding up. DO YOUR HOMEWORK before buying
