First car, bmw, vw, renault ?

Hello finally it’s time for me and I’m close to getting my own car with 18. My budget is 3.500€ and the car should have at least 100ps I don’t drive very much about 9.000km a year to the school short distance and at the weekend about 60km addressed me especially the BMW e46 compact 316i, however I have informed myself a little bit and hear very different opinions, a bigger problem seems to be the engine, which with cold temper I don’t think I can handle it at all and the oil scraper is having problems … So I’m a bit worried if it’s the right investment. As a second option, I’ve come to mind the VW golf 4, I don’t like optically as much as the BMW, but repeaters might be cheaper or ? Both cars are not available for 3,500€ under 100,000 km, for a gasoline quite a lot, or ? Do I have to worry about this mileage already ? The most reasonable choice would certainly be for example the Renault Megane 2, cheap in maintenance and repairs… Unfortunately, the car does not appeal to me very visually but I find it necessary to feel comfortable in his car, so the maintenance is certainly easier… I just can’t decide at the moment… Can I use a BMW with 316 Moto r trust ? Or rather leave the paws off ? :/
