I have owned a number of BMWs over the years, all have been very good cars. My e46 coupe is my daily driver along with the Boxster. The e46 is probably the best car I have ever owned; quiet, quick, comfortable, safe and reliable. It now has 230K on it. Sure things wear out, but you just fix them. Parts are not stupid prices if you know where to buy them, much like those for a Porsche. Never take it to a stealership, find a good indy. A guy in Wichita KS is worth driving to if you live within 300 miles (and yes, people do that to have Maurice service their cars).
My suggestion is to stick with a simple drive train, straight 6 if available as they are bullet proof. No turbos or X drive, just more stuff to break. If you go with an auto tranny, change the fluid twice to extend it's life. Other than that, simply enjoy owning a fine car!
