Im 19 looking to buy a car and im looking at the 1992-1998 generation of the bmw 3 series but there are so many i was just wondering the differences

I am looking to get a BMW soon, and I have heard good things about the E30 and E36s. Both being from the 90s, they would be in my price range.

Which year and series BMW would make a good first car, when taking into account reliability, and cost.

Also, how many miles should I look for on it?

I’m looking specifically for info on maintenance required for each. Does series 5 BMW’s require more maintenance than series 3?

I know there is a 3,5,6, and 7 series…. what are the other ones?

What are the differences (in much detail please)?

Just wondering what the difference between the BMW series are, is it that a series 7 is better than a series 1, and what sort of difference are we talking about?
