I think your chances are very good. I have two '94 325s -- one was wrecked
or I'd still be driving it -- and they are very fine cars. My daughter has
an '00 323 that is even better.
You are jumping form front wheel drive to rear wheel drive, and this will
mean a change to some of the things you do -- RWD pushes the car around,
FWD
pulls it, this is significant is slick conditions.
I find that doing routine service on my BMWs is very easy -- I replace
brake
pads and rotors easily. I had a problem with a fuel level sending unit,
easy
to fix at home. These cars are well made, and for the most part pretty
easy
to work on. If you are inclined to make yacht payments for your mechanic,
you will find that the cost-of-owner****p is really quite low and your
mechanic may need to get another customer to make the boat payments for
him.
When you pay for BMW service, it is expensive, but you do not pay for it
often if you know anything at all about your car.

You might be asking for trouble with a 10-year old car, but you are
looking
at what is perhaps the best driving machine ever to roll off the line, and
it is practically brand new.
