Only obstacle would be Alternator & Battery. Other than that suspension pieces are cheap, brakes are cheap, rims, tires, oil, filters even trans flush and pan can be done for pennies on the dollar. As long as fluids are flushed at intervals should be good to go
These forums have huge DIY section for most major items. But personally I would rather get a high mileage E39
