Buying BMW E46 with LPG is always a good idea. Small car (according modern standards) with great driving fun. Somehow you need to get to the train station, especially in rural areas.
I don't get why you're being downvoted. Rural area's can be a pain to reach. Especially with luggage.
Probably because of the reputation of BMW drivers in the US. And the reputation for cost and frequency of maintenance and repairs in the US. A lot of people have a thing against beamers.
I write from the European perspective, where E46 is not a luxury but one of cheapest choices. Maybe you are right about the US reputation
Most people don't hate BMW's or their drivers, it's a joke that they're all stuck up a-holes. There's similar jokes for people driving Tesla's being oblivious (fascists too now lol), Nissan Altima drivers being incredibly reckless, Prius' for always going 15 under the limit in the passing lane, etc.
I saw an e46 323 for $2000 yesterday, it's also a cheap option here.
Well, that's good.
Something like in Europe. I would put LPG for this engine to make it more green but still having fun :)
Or small kids
Because people here hate cars and cannot appreciate the value of a good drive
I get it though. I love driving cars, busses and trucks. It's a lot of fun. But the fun isn't worth the resources it takes to make, maintain and pollute.
Honestly. I wish my country wasn't sacked by the rich who "wanted to lower taxes" but only ended up decreasing the funding for essential services. Services the poor rely on more than the rich. Healthcare and public education mainly. If we didn't have vampires at the helm, we'd probably have more taxes going to public services. And heck, I would have loved our country to pay tax for "free" public transport. That would be so much more efficient, safe and affordable for everyone.
Because rn, my LPG chevrolet spark is more affordable than a train subscription. Gonna give my ol car to a family member though. She needs it more. Living in a rural area and needing to travel pretty far for her work. Public transport would be 1.5-2hrs travel while driving is about 45min.
