Just thinking about the stuff that broke on my E61, the warm glow of BMW ownership would have worn off pretty quickly if I'd had to pay shop rates to get it fixed.

Ehhh... nothing I've done to that car has been particularly difficult. Maybe the worst one was replacing the rear diff bushing and re-sealing the diff cover. Everything else has been pretty simple stuff. Shocks, brakes, radio...
The real problem is I can't afford the depreciation of buying a new BMW. I guess I could afford the payments on a $55k car but for it to be worth $30k in 5 years... I can't afford that.
