 I don't know much about the insides of a car, but just thinking of working on one sounds really fascinating and new, excited to own and learn one soon 🤗

 if your thinking of doing your own fix up; models that have interchangeable parts for years or with other models like/ mazda & ford ranger pick ups interchange parts in some cases across a 10yr span.  just an angle to consider for parts

 Best, most reliable car I’ve ever owned was a 1995 5 series E34. Sadly quite old now and also shot up in price too. I’d agree with AK - an economical and reliable Japanese cart to get you started…

 There was a time when BMW made them to last.. a bit longer. 🙂  My friend’s E36 M3 still runs to this day with 250K miles.

 Definitely. It was so reliable. I had a W124 Mercedes before it and that, despite being renown for reliability, did not compare (mainly due to its belt-driven 4-pot, distributor cap-firing setup compared with the BMW’s chain driven, smooth 6-cylinder block and its electronic firing. Miss it to this day…
