One was an E36 M3, said to be rock solid, 70k miles, I spent 9k in repairs in the first 6 months. Another was an E36 328i with 90k miles. Immediately it over heated, head cracked, while it was getting this 5k repair done, the window fell down in the door and it was 1,300 to fix that. Are the F30's much better? I'm fine with some repairs here and there. Just don't want to be best friends with the service advisor.

Make sure you buy one with updated timing chain and guides. Google N20 timing chain. Other than that it's typical modern day turbo BMW stuff. Good luck with your car search.
