Don't kid yourself, there will be a LOT of maintenance on a 15 year old BMW, regardless of the engine. Valve cover gasket, oil sump gasket, oil filter housing, accessory belt/tensioner, water pump, radiator/hoses, transmission filter and seals, alternator, starter, front suspension rebuild, rear window regulators, passenger door lock, interior door grabs, trunk wiring, rear subframe & guibos... that's not even everything! You should feel comfortable doing this work yourself, or prepared to pay a mechanic to do it. It won't all hit at once, or even right away, but everything up there will need to be done at some point.
