Hi, all, I am a student in college, and have found a pretty good deal on a BMW 3 series, e46 generation. However, I have only driven new cars before, and I have 0 experience in fixing anything car related. I would like to know what maintaining costs would go into owning an old BMW, as well as its durability, the chances of it actually breaking down, if it is durable enough to be driven in the winter. All in all I am just concerned about how durable it is, not really trying to have it die on me on the freeway :/. Thank you all!

Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, but me buying a BMW has nothing to do with what others think. I simply came across a good deal, and while I do have an interest in cars, I simply do not know about this generation well enough to make a sound decision. Of course there have been many options that have presented themselves in terms of cars from the "more reliable" Japanese car makers, but I am trying to look for the best thing I can buy with my budget.

What's the mileage, year and asking price for the vehicle ?
