BMW 3-Series Saloon 318i SE 4d (1996/P) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Low value for me. I must have banged my head as I bought it from a BMW dealer and now realise I got seriously ripped off!
Costs
I have drove this vehicle up hill, down dale and on the flatest of motorways in all styles of driving and cannot get more than 24mpg out of it by my calculations. This one is as 2.5 V6 engine!

On the road
Driving
Drives like only a Beamer does. If only it did not use so much fuel.
Performance
I haven't got the bottle to drive it like Sterling Moss would, in case the petrol station is closed and I can't get home!
-
Living with it
Image
Always been mechanically reliable. Climate control needed replacing due to having a mind of its own. Talk about fully automatic.
Comfort
Would not like to travel too far in the back!
-
Security and Service
Security
Has a BMW-approved alarm that appears fancy. I would hope that it would stop a thief!
Service
More than happy to repair under warranty easy jobs. Shut the door on us as regards the fuel consumption problem. Stated I should seek advice on how to drive!
