Love my bimmer
 I bought the car with 24,900 miles  April 2014 from 80 year old woman. The car now has 57,000 mile.  I like the car very much. NO major issues, just maintenance issues here and there.  Unfortunately, repairs can be pricey. Overall , I would recommend this car. I am very happy with it. I do expect to keep it a longgggg time.I will keep up the maintenance and it should go and go .I do believe it is the "ultimate driving machine"  and I would not go to  back to a "basic" car again. I really enjoy driving it...update 3-7-18:  Still have the car now with 88,000  miles.. Still love the car and have no real problems...just maintenance issues... had to replace ( a couple times) the front end CVS joint (?) which kept leaking. I hit a lot of bumps here in NYC and that may have been cause.   Also, I get very annoyed with the Bi xenon lights. They flicker and I had to replace the bulbs a couple times. It is a problem I can not seem to get an answer to.   I am also aware of E46 issues such as the cooling system. No problems yet but I am told I should get a cooling system KIt soon.. Cost for material about $350.00 (+/-)  Overall, I will find it hard to have any other car than a BMW. It rides so nice. I will keep this car another few years at least. I can not justify a new BMW price..NO way...
