hey, i have a few questions. im from australia and im looking for something nice and even legendary as my first car. i feel like this car changed everything about BMW in the 80s. Im having troubles convincing my dad about its reliability and maintenance costs so i wanna ask how reliable it is as a day to day car, and how much, generally, would it cost in maintenance and repairs for a car in good condition. good for a first car?
Never understood why the U.S. cars had to have the lights with their corresponding text, explaining what the goddamn light meant. Don´t know why, I always thought european symbology on dashboard lights was self explanatory. Did they considered U.S. owners were just stupid to intepret a simple, self explanatory icon, or what?
BMW 3 Series seemed much more"plush" than the E-36 from the 1990's that seemed to have cheaply textured plastics and thinner carpeting instead. Would anyone have an opinion as to why!?

@kcwoodfield Heavy as hell? It weighs 2360lbs or so stock. That is only, hmm, about 1,000lbs heavier than your average car today.

Nice car. Love the bumpers.
I have an 84 318i as well. Has approx 92k. It's heavy as hell and drives like a tank. Handles nicely.

I honestly thought this was my car cause you have the same exact rip in the drivers seat that I do. But then you showed it was an auto.
