I feel like you're waiting for someone to guarantee you that it's okay to go ahead and buy it and that you won't have significant problems. It's not going to happen, every car is different, I've known lots of people who had shitloads of problems with their E46's (and I worked at BMW at one point) and I know people who relentlessly beat on theirs and never have anything go wrong.

My advice is that if you feel like you're reaching for something, you're asking for it... you should feel 100% about what you buy not be afraid of stuff... like my buddy bought a Lotus Esprit V8 which has got to be one of the worst reliability cars ever, but he 100% knew that's what he wanted and accepted it was going to cost a bundle to upkeep but didn't care because he has always wanted one... the way you're talking right now I get the feeling it's going to be a situation where you buy it, and the first thing goes wrong you'll be like "DAMNIT I knew I shouldn't have done this!!!" and get all down about it.
