A few questions.
Which would be the better model?
Petrol or Diesel?
RFT or normal tyres (I live 110 km from the closest town (no tyre repair place) with about 50% gravel roads)?
Can oil changes/ service be done by me?
Whats deprecation like per year(roughly)?
Reliability compared to Holden?
Thanks in advance.

Hard to say depends on your budget and power requirements.
Both great IMO, again depends on what you require mileage and performance wise
RFs have advantages but cost is a killer, NRFs are my next stop mainly price reasons and improved ride quality.
You can change your own oil. Need to get the right oil and filter.
No idea.
I have only had one issue in 6 months vanos solenoid and that’s common I hear. I don't think BMWs are any less reliable then other vehicles. All depends on the condition of the 2nd had car you buy and if you take care of it.
Hope that helps
cheers
