Hey guys i am looking to buy a bmw as my first car

I am looking forward to either 4 series or 5 series but from the people ive heard it seems that 5 series is just a bigger 3 series with almost none powe advantage

I want to clearify i want a fun and kinda reliable car as my daily also i am willing to learn to do my own repairs and invest in some tools to learn more abt cars

I have a budget of 20k aud so if im wrong please suggest me some good options in the comments as you guys are more knowledgeable than me also i can consider other car brands mainly i was looking at 350z and c250 i’ll attach one car i was keen on and mind you this is kms not miles

Please help me decide.

Will this be your First BMW? 2011s were some of the first introduced for this body style and Engine, I am quite certain this engine had the recall for the timing guides, if interested in this particular car, please look up any shopwork done and receipts before buying, please do your research carefully and there is plenty of information on these cars and engines, they can be great cars and Maintaining these cars can be pricy if not careful.

Here down below is a plethora of info on this Engine, and the other gas and diesel Engines that this Series is Equipped with from 2010-2017.

Take great care and we are here to assist!

Once more, don't let the looks of the car and the features score you into buying something, that may be more than you can handle, get a pre purchase inspection, research time into the N55 engine that comes with it, cover yourself now so if you do buy it or end up looking at others, you will thank yourself later on.
