Bought a cheap BMW today help

[Morrisnof]

Just picked up a 2004 E46 for like $2000. It sounds like a lawnmower and the check engine light is brighter than my future. Did I make a huge mistake or am I a certified tuner now?

Welcome to the financial ruin club! Get ready to spend $5000 fixing a $2000 car. Check the cooling system before it blows up.

Girls love E46s anyway bro. Just clean the interior, dump it on cheap coilovers and loud exhaust. Who cares about the engine light.

Wait, isn't BMW supposed to be a luxury car? Why is it so cheap? My dad says old German cars are just trash bins for money.
