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!

This was like 5 years ago, and as stated the maintenance was very very good. It just so happened to crap out on me, unluckily and from that I would say buying a used BMW can be costly. Not for certain but possibly.
Im not an idiot, just sharing my experience and opinion.
