A true delight to drive hard, here are eight reasons why we love the E36 BMW M3, and two reasons why we wouldn't buy one. 10 A Very German Muscle Car

My first car was a E class and the maintenance wasn't too bad. if the 50k E46 is in good condition I say go for it, he won't hoon around and will love it. An example I will give is that my Dad gave me my first Omega watch.
The S50 motor and e36 powertrain is by far one of BMW's most reliable that they've ever come out with. That said, it's still a 20 year old BMW M, so proceed with caution when buying. Don't just pull the trigger on the first one you see. Check for maintenance records and definitely get a PPI.
