I loved the car, and plan to buy another one sometime.  However, it was
expensive to repair whenever it needed work. "
It seems clear you've never owned a BMW, known in the trade as "Bucks
Make'em Work".  Far and away more expensive to repair than a 911, which
probably has the lowest incidence of repair of any high end car.  I used to
have 4-5 of them apart at any given time in my shop, now we do about 1
engine every 5 years.  They're phenomenally trouble free, all things
considered, and repairs are relatively less expensive than comparable cars
of the same vintage.  We just scrapped a nice 325i for nothing more than a
clutch and a noisy tranny, the total of which was easily twice the market
value of the car, and exceeded the cost of similar work on a 911.  John
