It's stupendously easy and fairly cheap to keep an e30 running well if you're diligent about maintenance. Like any other car, slack off on the up-keep, and you pay in the long run.My '91 318is (which is for sale, by the way) was my daily driver for a year, and it still runs like clockwork without major maintenance expenses. You can do the vast majority of the maintenance on e30s right in your garage with minimal hassle. Just get a good service manual and grab a wrench.
