Buying a 2nd BMW 318

[Bondizzo]

hi guys is it worth it buying a 2nd hand BMW 318 , 2002/2003 model for about 100 000, with 130 000kms on the clock ?

[JK8]

Nope! Rather go for a 320 individuals between 100k - 150k. Preferably with motorplan, they around just need to look for them....

[Bondizzo]

k the 320i or the 320d ?

'03 will be just out of motorplan, hence market flooded.
Some peeps do extend the motorplan which is cool if you can find it but basically ...what JK8 said:)

I have 2003 model 318i facelift 214000km, no problems so far :)

Get the Diesel ;)

Just make sure the engine is in near perfect condition and you'll never have problems if you look after it

Heres some decent 04 models...

140k is out of range at the moment for me, you reckon I should save up and get an 04 model ?

the 320d is a ticking time bomb, up until 04 and later is ok...before that you enter at your own risk.

ask around, dont just take advice from this place

turbo failure, due to some flaps in the manifold coming loose and doing some interesting damage
