BMW 3 series good for teen?

My cousin, who is a car mechanic, he recommends I drive a BMW. Partially because insurance is cheaper due to safety statistics for BMW, and how often BMW are involved with crashes with teens or something like that. Additionally, my extended family drive BMW. And I at some point started to like BMW when going to my cousins shop to learn about mechanics.

But, he tells me that his BMWs have taken care of him and last him very long. My dad drives Toyota, he was thinking of getting my a Corolla, which I probably will drive until save up. But also, insurance on Hondas and Toyotas are an extra $100 compared to BMW. My dad hates BMW and says that he can't afford BMW. Well, he has a low income, so that is reasonable. But for me, I was thinking of something else other than BMW, but I don't know. Ironically, I said I was going to drive a Corolla as well when I get my license since I grew up in a Corolla household, but going to work with my cousin to learn about mechanics, I fell in love with BMW. At some point, I want to become a BMW mechanic. I don't like mechanics all that much, but working with BMWs, I think I will enjoy it.

I think I will start off with Corolla for a few months, but is BMW good for a soon-to-be college student? After college, I will plan on going to university so I have some schooling to go through.
