Yes, I am planning on doing the majority of my repairs (nothing too intricate though...I don't touch the inside of an engine).
RightWingZionist-I was quite intrigued at your first link of the BMW as they are some of my favorite cars. I researched the cars quite a bit and found that they are not quite up to par with the Japanese cars, however they don't seem far behind whatsoever. I called the owner of the BMW to find it was already sold. I then researched and found a 1994 BMW 318i with 102k miles on it for $3400.
If anyone has anything to say about how long they last on a general basis that would be great. But everything I read seems to say that the BMW's main probably with this generation is the plastic pieces...not exactly the most important thing in the world. However, some sources on the internet said that the repairs were quite expensive, however many sources claimed that the expense was mere rumor.
