not only BMW, many older continental cars disintegrates. Something to do with our weather.
W203 looks outdated already, up budget abit and go for E60.

good deal, much more comfortable than new myvi, but you will need to set aside some money for maintenance. at least 3k for a start.

change engine oil, transmission oil, car battery (what i will do if purchase second hand car)

perhaps next some minor issue or wear and tear stuff

The chain driven M271 is notorious for grinding down the cam drivers leading to loose timing chain. If the cam drivers are not changed, it can lead to engine destruction
