Almera or 3 Series?
I have short-listed two entirely different cars to buy as used, BMW 3 series compact (2001, 85000miles at £2200 ) and Nissan Almera (2004, 45000 miles at £2450).
I am very confused to choose, I like BMW more, but is this much less reliable? Could you please recommend one?

I'd have the BMW Compact because it's good to drive. The Almera isn't.
