the thing that makes me love these cars is, you can almost always do the work yourself. they're not hard. they're not complicated. prices for parts are higher than you might buy for, say, a neon. but they tend to be good quality. where you may be choosing between the cheap water pump and the quality one on a Ford Escort, for example, with the e30 the only one available is the good one. taken that into account, parts are very fair. I'm sure someone will think of an exception, but this has been my experience (5 x e30's)
