    Looking to buy my first 3 series

    Looking at a 2002 330xi with sport package - everything seems to check out fine, nice and clean and a clean carfax. The car does have about 56k miles on it. I guess my main concern is maintenance after I purchase it - will I have to put a lot of money into it after buying it?? I have always bought new cars so I am used to a warranty of some kind (protection) I would be financing this car so I am affraid of having a $300 car payment and a @##$ load of trips to the dealer which will be more $$$.

    I did drive the car and I have to say WOW - i know why they are the ultimate driving machine!!! Incredible!

    Any thoughts??

    You want the one of the other 3series forums, this one is for 3's 1984-1994. Buy an e30 and you wont have a car payment for long, if at all. Good luck.
