I bought an E36 325iS new in '93. Just about everything electrical and electronic was replaced during warranty, as well as a clutch, A/C condenser, door panels, and other minor items. When the warranty ran out I did my own repairs. Nothing broke for another 60,000 miles and 12 years. I replaced rotors & pads, tires, fixed the headliner, replaced the water pump & radiator before they failed. If I had to pay a shop to do the repairs I would be driving a Celica.
I just bought a 128i that I plan to keep for 10 years or so. When the warranty runs out I will buy a diagnostic interface so I can continue to do my own repairs.
