Will you simply be bringing the car into a BMW dealer and saying "fix this"???

If so, in 3 years you CAN (not will, but CAN) rack up all kinds of expenses. Besides the normal maintenance (brakes, oil, brack fluid, ATF) which will be 3-4000, you could be facing a radiator ($1k), or self leveling suspension baldder ($3k) or a few window regulators ($500)...never mind a tranny ($7k)

Or you may get lucky.

If it won't be the end of the world to spend the money, take the risk.

70k to 130k isnt the same as 20k to 80k
