Its not about the money that I spent on the car but the fear that I won't be able to use it when I really need it. With 2 infants is no fun begging the car to start. I always keep cash in my car for taxi.

And you probably paid about 30-40% of what the original owner paid? There is a reason for this - it is a 7 year old BMW.
Sorry to hear about your problems and it does suck to be nervous about whether or not the car starts - but you should not be overly surprised.
Wagners posts hit the nail on the head.
