BMW 318i Review, For Sale, Specs, Models & News in Australia
The BMW 3 Series has been a core part of the famous Bavarian brand’s line-up since 1975 and has spanned seven generations over six decades.
The 318i was the traditional entry-point to the 3 Series range, but departed the Australian market in 2018. Offered purely as a sedan, it was powered by a 1.5-litre, turbocharged three-cylinder, connected to either a six speed manual or eight speed automatic transmission.
At the time of its exit two models we offered - 3 Series 318i M-Sport, and the 3 Series 318i Luxury Line topping the range at $45,540.

Is the BMW 318i a good & reliable car?
So long as it is serviced on time and looked after well, the BMW 318i can be a great, reliable and enjoyable mode of transport. Although it is no tar-burning supercar the 318i has been known for 30 years as a well-made, pleasant way to get around town. Older second-hand models should have a professional inspection before purchase to make sure they have been serviced regularly and not driven without car, as this can affect the car's long-term reliability.

How can you make a BMW 318i faster?
Trade it in on an M3. Realistically, modifying your 318i is a legal minefield and doesn't really make sense given BMW produce higher-performance models in the 3-series line-up, starting with the 328i and going all the way to the ridiculously fast M3.

How can you make a BMW 318i faster?
Trade it in on an M140 or one of BMW's many performance-oriented models.
While you can theoretically make a 318i faster, you're wasting money - and potentially making your car illegal to drive on the road - when there are faster models available from BMW.
