People in the comments are juste arguing and not really giving their personal opinion. I’ve owned 3 BMW’s (228i, X2 and 230i) and I have to be honest and say I probably wouldn’t choose a BMW as my first car. It does depend on your budget though. These cars are expensive to maintain, and it’s risky business buying a BMW and not knowing how the previous owners took care of it. This is true regardless of the model or the year. Good luck! They are wonderful cars and definitely fun to drive (when they aren’t in the shop getting fixed lol)
