Like the OP was, I'm in the Army, but I'm currently in Germany. I needed a car when I moved in and one of the first I saw listed was a 1997 320i. I bought it with some trepidation since it was from a used car dealer in Bavaria, but I was not disappointed! It was a very nice Beemer, especially considering the typical Beeter that you see soldiers with over here. It had the red leather heated seats, sport springs and the top of the line (for the time) interior, gauges, etc. It even had a Webasto parking heater that could be set on a timer to defrost the car in the winter before you get in. (I loved that, if I ever go to another place with a bad winter, I'll probably get one) I changed the oil a few times, replaced rotors and pads, and new trans lines and cooler, but other than that, no maintenance and I sold it for more than I bought it for to use on the down payment for my new one.
