So I've had some experience about European cars. Not exactly me but my dad owned an E38 before and my brothers both are driving Alfa Romeo.E38 is a very very nice car to drive and to be in especially during long trips. Smooth and stable and of course, fast. =)But its quite costly when it comes to maintaining it. I can't remember well but that E38 always overheats and radiator is always leaking. None electrical problem but the real problem about that car is mostly overheating. Alfas, don't mention, they spend more time with the mechanic than with their owner but they are superb. Maintenance wise is of course costly too!Back to topic, so I am currently hunting for an E36 probably the last batch 97'- 98'. And I've heard from my brothers that if I were to get a BMW, I should have at least a spare car as it will be always be in the workshop. And I should always have spare $$$ for repair and maintenance. So my question to all sifus and bros is do I really really have to get ready for all those sudden breakdown or any costly maintenance? Or they are just trying to scare the hell out of me :stupid:
