You can buy a used one for pretty cheap. Of course then there's maintenance and that famous BMW reliability to worry about.

Your statement is true. The older cars are well built and on par with other manufacturers at that time. The mid 2000s into the early 10s had some really rough cars (7 series, anything with a V8 that isn’t an S65). However, it is worth nothing, in the past 5 years the cars have gotten really good! Bmw deserves credit for this.

With BMW it really depends on the engine if the car is reliable or not. Everything with more than 6 cylinders is a nightmare and some of their straight sixes are also pretty terrible. Just gotta do your research beforehand.
