How much maintenance/repairs E30 owners?

By: RobbinAtlanta

Hey guys. I think I'm ready for my first BMW. All I've ever owned have been american/asian autos for which parts and service are cheap. I'm a little apprehensive about having to pay so much more for parts and repairs for a German car.

I'm thinking about buying an E30 325is.
How much do you guys spend generally annually for repairs/maint.? how much more does your mechanic charge you for labor?

I can do a lot of stuff myself (Tune ups, brakes, etc) but still, how much more is it for say a timing belt or clutch job for a Beamer v.s. a Honda?

Thanks for your input!
