Just posting to say I miss my 1982 528e. Great car. I guess I shouldn't have run it into immovable objects.

How much are you guys spending on maintenance? I'm curious to see how much you're putting into BMWs that have got ~200k. How often are they breaking down?

EDIT: Can someone describe to me what it's like owning and driving a BMW? I'm assuming it's nothing short of incredibly loving awesome.

My 528e had 180k miles on it and I drove it for almost a year. I replaced a split radiator hose and normal maintenance, that was it. Engine and 5MT were indestructible. Leaked minor oil from the valve covers, not a real big surprise.

The 528e wasn't exactly a performance machine, but it was reliable, comfortable, and fun to drive.
