I have an older (2007, #509) BDR Cobra. LOVE the car... they're built pretty well, so much so that a well recognized local speed shop that's been in the business for 40 years was impressed with the build quality. The parts it shares with BMW's aren't hard to find. The issue is usually parts that are proprietary to BDR. You'll find a growing number of BDR owners on this forum expressing frustration over a lack of support from Florida on this topic.
If I were going to buy today... there are two things I would definitely consider:
1) Upgrade the windshield from the aluminum frame to a chrome over brass.
2) I would likely do business with VMS in Connecticut... and I'm way down here in Texas... so that should say something. I've had limited dealings with them on some of the custom parts they make... but they've been top notch to deal with. There are various pictures and reviews of their work on this forum. The work looks top notch... & I've yet to read of a dissatisfied Customer. They also have an active presence on this forum and seem willing to help and offer suggestions. I can't make that same statement about the guys in Florida. There's also Radical Roadsters in Houston. I don't know a lot about them... but they too have an active presence on this forum. My ONLY experience with them was a voice mail message I left that went unreturned... but that's one time... and much too small of an item to form an opinion on their performance/service.
