And this is why I love BMW's. They aren't for everyone, but for those that are a little mechanically inclined you get a great vehicle(s) with a low investment. Certainly less than a new car, let alone a new BMW. Sure, some big-ticket items will come up during ownership... but averaged out as a monthly payment it's still very minimal.
