Not quite the same but my 2007 5 series was a procession of fairly large bills at 6 month intervals. Annoying but still cheaper than leasing.
Edit: to expand, I think a lot of the gadgety stuff from that era is not as well made as the car itself felt and various bits of mechanical gear were reaching end of life and needed replacement.

Ah, hoping my low spec e46 won’t cost me several grand in the coming months. Fortunately it’s fairly unladen with fancy electronics/extras.
Although the to do list is growing slightly:
Thermostat,
Full Brake service, deffo new rotors, new handbrake shoes, bleed/totally refresh the fluid.
Maybe a battery replacement.
Need to figure out why the rear windscreen element isn’t working (potentially battery related).
Cooling system flush.
Air and cabin filters at some point.Can’t say the prospect of doing any of the work on a driveway in the middle of winter has much appeal. I’ve already got to put the new cat and exhaust on the wife’s jazz in the next couple of weeks. Joy of joys.
