Things to watch out for:
Leaking Differential Bushings, replace with aftermarket as Nissan ones are junk and will leak again.
Steering Lock Failure, was supposed to be fixed via recall but beware late 2010's like mine that aren't covered under recall but still failed. :/
Clutch Slave Cylinder failing and not being covered under the POWERTRAIN warranty (I mean come on, I was stranded 4 hours from home and you tell me its not powertrain)
But to be honest, I have a friend who drive a 5 series and the maintanence cost is much much higher for him than me. Plus I have done all of these repairs (minus the Slave cylinder) myself in my driveway with my father as projects so Yes you can do the wrenching yourself if you have the time and the drive.
Overall, with all the issues I've had, I don't ever plan on selling this car, it's just like my motorcycle, it might break in weird ways sometimes but the unique special feeling I get from driving it is worth it.
