Greetings everybody.
I'm an aspiring bimmer and joined this forum looking for advises, my question is : what BMW would make a good first car ?(original heh)
There ain't many available, so my options are pretty limited, here is what i can afford:
-525i E34
-320i/d/Ci E46
-525i/d E39
-Some butchered E36
Guess that i can't gave it all yet want to have the best bang for my bucks (something relatively sporty,comfortable,reliable and fun)
Looking for your answers
What is your budget?
Can you work on the car yourself?
General rules for a first car:
Cheap
Slow
Small
Manual
You don't want something sporty, because statistically speaking you'll regret it. Or get a British sports car like I did and pretend it's fast.

Sounds like the opposite of a bimmer
Pretty much, yeah.

I think it will be hard for you to find this car series, it doesn't matter if it is an old or new model for as long as you like it. BTW, how much is your budget?
The best for that bucks 525i E34
Are e46 that unreliable? I've yet to meet someone praising them
I wouldn’t say they’re unreliable. They’re just your typical bmw that they’re getting to age where they are hitting 100-150k where that’s where stuffs gonna fail. Yes the engines tend to burn oil. Cooling system tends to fail because of plastics but typical bmw fault with hoses, water pumps, rad, and expansion tank usually. Suspension bushings need upgrades (typical wear). Gaskets, again old rubber from age. Little shit that shouldn’t be plastic like window and lock regulators will break. There’s a few other things I think but nothing E46 only.
