I have somewhere over $15K in parts into it over the course of 4 years. That's just parts, most labor and diag has been done by me. With labor, I would probably be pushing well over 30K.
Does everything work? Today, yes.
For how long? Probably a month.
I would not do it again, but I have learned a great deal about BMW's and cars in general.
Farewell, and good luck on your next car!

This is incredible. I’ve owned my 3.0 for 6 years and am in about $2000, excluding oil tires etc. I can’t imagine what part hasn’t been replaced for 15k
