Buying that E46 was one of the the worst decision I made in my life so far. Not the decision of buying a BMW, but to have no knowledge & buying a BMW.

I know EXACTLY what you mean... I recall the RX-8's had oil burning issues, but I bought a 2001 Audi S4 with 118k miles... in the FIRST week the timing belt snaps, causing internal engine damage and a $3K repair bill! Informed decisions save so much $

Ok, showing my age... My first car was a '76 Datsun 1200, that was previously my mother's, it was race prepped (She was into cars) dual side draft weber's, full length extractors, 1/2 race cams, bolt in roll cage, with shoulder harnesses )when most Japanese cars didn't even have seat belts). I wish I could have brought that car with me when I migrated to the US. Last I heard, it was rolled into a cane field and totaled, sometime in '86.

my first car was an e46 330ci.

Wow, some pretty privelaged people around here! My first car was donated to me by my uncle, was a 1987 Chevy cavalier, had more rust than paint, only lasted about 8 months. Then I bought myself a beauty 1985 Chevy Chevette 4spd, pretty sure the previous owner sprayed painted himself all silver including the rims. That baby took me through some good years in highschool, the fold down rear seats and hatchback were money.

My first car was my dream car at the time, 1994. It was a 1993 Acura Integra 1.7L vtec. The first Honda/Acura to come out with VTEC w/ the exception of the NSX. I bought it used with 11K miles on it, from an older gentleman in Pheonix, that babied it for a year and needed a bigger car. I absolutely loved it and I had it for approx 3 years.

1987 Audi 5000 shit box.

I’m almost embarrassed to say this, but my first car was a 1997 Dodge Neon that I bought in Toronto, in 1998. Black in color and it did have the double overhead cam engine with a whopping 150 horses….. 13 years later and doubled the HP….
