BMW 3-Series Saloon 318i SE 4d (98) (2000/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
You pay for what you get, therefore think carefully to include the features that you want, you do end up paying for the badge, or you can opt for a fully-loaded car from another make.
Costs
It can be expensive to repair, but as the build is bullet-proof, it is rarely required. I recommend private servicing from an exprienced mechanic to save the money, as the main dealers are expensive.

On the road
Driving
A good driving position.
Performance
A good reliable performer that is desirable over other makes. The top-of-the-range BMWs have all the luxuries, but with downsides of bigger expences and fuel bills.

Living with it
Reliability
Since owning the car I have had no major problems. I have just changed the battery. I have also had my car converted to duel-fuel (LPG), performance exhaust, k&n air-filter, for better economy it is great.
Image
A very sought-after car.
Comfort
I have velour seats and they are comfortable. Sound-proof glass, shocks are good, it is very comfortable, I would have perfered leather seats.
