1) I am almost 6 5'', which models have most legroom and can other models be slightly modified to fit tall folks, or is that a huge operation? I drove one a while back but could barely get my legs under the steering wheel.
2)Are there any years/models that parts are harder/easier to find?
3) aside from the usual rust, leaks etc, what red flags to look out for when buying and what are most expensive things to have done?
4) Are these less costly than classics to maintain since they have less electrics and seem all over simpler to work on?
5) What is one of these in good shape going for these days, average? I saw a series 3 for 7500 and the guy had like 16 grand in receipts, but it still needed a fair amount of tlc.
thanks in advance

You haven't really said what you want it for. Is it just that it looks cool and you want to park it out the front.
If it is the simplisticity of the vehicle that attracts you, why not look at a 1986 or earlier classic. It will be a lot more reliable, driveable, comfortable, and a hell of a lot more capable off-road.
