A well cared for 128i is likely to not be a big financial drain. Get a good pre-purchase inspetion (PPI) and look at the maintenance records.

If you are inclined, able and have the time to do your own maintenance, you can have a fun pretty reliable car. I bought a BMW CPO and keep hoping (well almost) for something to go wrong to justify the extra cost of CPO
