Acutally, some feel that the e32 and 34 are less easy to wrok on because they have nearly as many features as the later cars, but don't have a bus type system. That measn that there's lots wiring, and less computerized diagnostic help when things go wrong.
anyway, I know we talk a lot about BMW's flaky electronics; but in the scheme of things (atleast for anything pre e65), I think its way more likely that you'll spend money on stupid mechanical problems than trying to diagnose an electronics issue.
