If you can't work on them or pay for someone else to work on them... they aren't the car for you.
There are very few BMW models/years that I would actually classify as "turds." The e53 is not one of them. BMW's do not need you to stick up for them, they need you to maintain them properly. Then everyone who takes a ride in your car/suv/etc will marvel how well it drives, handles, and is constructed without you having to say a word.
