BMW 3-Series Coupe 318 Ci 2d (99) (2000/X) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent value though bought as ex company car not through dealer but £1000s less than my old Peugoet 307, and you certainly feel like you have spent your money well.
Costs
Passed MOT no problems. Service costs seem steep. About to have Brake Fluid service (£90). Service costs average about £200 depending on mileage. Good not to be stuck with 12000 or 12months, the services are when you have completed the mileage.

On the road
Driving
Excellent Drive (although a bit more daring in the wet). Solid handling.
Performance
Not as quick as the 2 litre but still shifts very well (Especially as I had a Diesel 1.4 before). Power gets you out of tight spots but beware of the wheel spinning!

Living with it
Reliability
NO problems yet, again, fingers crossed.
Image
Cool, damn cool, real cool!. A proper head turner.
Comfort
Cannot fault this at all. Space in rear more than adequate.

Security and Service
Security
