If you don't know how to maintain/repair cars, I would avoid buying a used BMW. Repairs at the dealership can exceed the value of the car.

I have a 2001 BMW Z3 with 180k. BMW tends to use a lot of plastic parts where most manufacturers would have opted for metal. Water pump blade, plastic; Belt pulleys, plastic; radiator connections, plastic; thermostat housing, plastic; door lock/handle parts, plastic; antenna mount, plastic. I can go on. Since I do my own repairs, its not bad. If I had to take it to the dealership for repairs, it would literally eat all my savings.

If you're still in college and live close by, get a bicycle. You will meet a lot more girls or guys that way. Figure an extra $500 a month to go drinking and eating out.
