My '03 has been an absolute maintenance hog since passing 90k miles. I bought it in '06 with 43k miles and have had pretty much every failure that is documented on XO. Now at 145k it is well sorted and I have not had anything happen since the beginning of 2022 but the intervening 50k miles have taught me more about the e53 than I ever wanted to know. However, it is a great car to own and I am not considering parting with it.
My kids pretty much use this as a DD to their respective colleges and it serves as the grovery-getter since it is the smallest vehicle we own and hence easy to park. Is it worth it? Only if you have: a. another backup car, b. ample time on your hands to wrench, c. know how to use the BMW software on a PC and d. you can spare the 3k a year (on average even with DIY) to keep it running. It is a hobby object more than a car.... :-)
