In years of BMW ownership, I would not recommend a BMW if the plan is to own one for the next 15+ years. If you are set in getting a BMW, lease one for the first while, and then buy out the vehicle if you find that you enjoy them enough.
I lost patience working on my BMW and having to send it to the shop for repairs when I needed the car the most. The worst things would happen, and when my cooling system exploded without warning, it was the last straw for me and I got rid of it. I'm happy to have moved away from BMW, as much as I enjoy their driving dynamics. But to own one, was a royal pain in the ass. Best of luck.
