I think there are three types of people who buy BMWs
Rich
They don't care if it breaks because they just take it to a dealer or buy a new one every few years
Want one
They want a bmw but are not mechanically incline or have never had an opportunity to learn about mechanics
Mechanics/handyman
Love BMW's and can repair them or will have a go themselves
All the problems in the post are simple easy fixes if you are prepared to have a go
Study books or watch YouTube channels or ask people on this site
Owning a used bmw is a great experience to learn and enjoy a wonderful motorcar
Don't give up
Have a go
Buy a few tools and ask questions and for help
A used bmw is more like a hobby and something to be enjoyed

These cars will reward you with a much sweeter sense of ownership only after you've toiled away under the bonnet or beneath them. Have had her for almost 6 months now and apart from a couple of hiccups, she's been thoroughly rewarding!
Hope to enjoy many more miles with her by my side and hope so do you with your new acquisition!
