The issue is lack of local knowledge on how to fix them as well as expensive parts which is why they're worth less than the goldies in your cup holders.
Give it another 15 years as the popularity increases further, local auto tradies will know how to correctly diagnose and repair faults and parts will come down in price.
Welch Autoparts, Imparts and HSY Autoparts are Euro aftermarket parts specialists - Repco/Burson need not apply.
I'm no Euro fanboy, though I did own an E38 735iL affectionately nicknamed 'Adolf' - it crapped out it's timing chain guides at 130,000km.
