I remember that the 330ci in its 10 year lifespan, cost like 10k with replacing tires, electronics, A/C, lighting etc.
This isn't exactly what you're looking for... but my E46 M3 cost me an absolutely unbelievable amount of money, to the point where I don't think I could bring myself to own another high-milage german car.

IMO, if you have a high-milage german car, I would have $5k ready to use for a car repair at all times. I concede the odds are that you're not going to have to use it, but when I was faced with a $6k repair bill for a car that lost way more than $6k in value because it was broken... it sucked. It sucked especially hard when another $2k bill came in 6 months (I know, rare). It's really frustrating to spend that kind of money just to get back to square one.
