Buying that E46 was one of the the worst decision I made in my life so far. Not the decision of buying a BMW, but to have no knowledge & buying a BMW.

I know EXACTLY what you mean... I recall the RX-8's had oil burning issues, but I bought a 2001 Audi S4 with 118k miles... in the FIRST week the timing belt snaps, causing internal engine damage and a $3K repair bill! Informed decisions save so much $
