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!

Depends on the model and the year. The M series cars in the E46 lineup actually still sell for a decent amount - especially the M3 which is often sought after by enthusiasts due to it's incredible handling.

good point, I was just generalizing.
