Owner of a used 98 z3. My advice would be to do a lot of research into the 3 series, BMW forums are a great place to start. For example before I bought my z3 I knew that around 75,000 miles the cooling system almost always needed to be replaced so I factored that into the cost of the car. I would do the same thing with the 3 series and see if you can negotiate a lower price based on that. Also check out how reliable the car is overall. If its not a reliable make of BMW then I would avoid it. People are going to say mechanical repairs will cost more, and they may but that won't be a problem if you buy a reliable model and budget for the most common repairs needed.
