No chance in hell. Some great arguments on here for keeping an older BMW over something newer in another brand. I've spent my whole life driving older German cars because I'd rather have that than something soulless and lacking character, nevermind performance and handling. Yes, they may cost more to repair and/or be out of warranty but hey, if you want to play, you gotta pay. Besides the way BMW's are engineered is unlike any other vehicle that I've worked on, they truly are the easiest cars to repair.
