Without getting into relative merits of 328 vs Viggen:
My experience regarding parts/service pricing has been exactly the opposite. The parts aren't always cheap, but they're almost universally cheaper than Saab parts.
I'm waiting on a $170 radiator for our 9000 from eEuroparts. I can walk into the local BMW dealer and take home a radiator for my wife's 540i for $150. I can replace the whole front bumper assembly on that car for less than the cost of a front spoiler for the 9000, even at the best 'net parts pricing (and never mind that the local Saab dealers mark their parts prices up into the clouds.) And so on.
Every BMW model has some weaknesses - the plastic thermostat necks on a lot of the 6-cylinder cars, for example - but there's a huge knowledge base out there on the 'net and the fixes and parts sources are very widely known.
