    BMX X3 2015: is it good around town?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 27 September 2018

    The diesel is fine around town. Being just three years old there shouldn't be anything wrong, so apart from overall condition of the body, paint, and interior make sure it has been routinely serviced.

     

    How can you make a BMW 318i faster?
    Answered by Iain Kelly · 19 September 2018

    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.

    Is the BMW 318i a good & reliable car?
    Answered by Iain Kelly · 19 September 2018

    While they've grown physically larger over the last 35 years, BMW's 3-series has been an excellent mid-size car and continues to be. While they aren't cheap they can be optioned from basic transport to luxury runabout, though servicing costs through BMW dealers can be expensive compared to Japanese rivals.

    It is paramount to service them on time and look after them by driving sensibly.

    What is the fuel consumption of a BMW 318i?
    Answered by Iain Kelly · 19 September 2018

    The official combined cycle fuel economy of BMW's 318i is 5.4L/100km.

    Does the BMW 120i have a timing chain or timing belt?
    Answered by Iain Kelly · 19 September 2018

    BMW's F20-series 120i runs a timing chain on the B48B20 two-litre four-cylinder engine.

    What is the top speed of a BMW 120i?
    Answered by Iain Kelly · 19 September 2018

    BMW claim a top speed of 230km/h for the F20-series 120i.

    How fast can a BMW 120i go from 0-100?
    Answered by Iain Kelly · 19 September 2018

     A 2018 BMW 120i Msport model can do 0-100km/h in 7.1 seconds.

    Does the BMW 120i have good fuel consumption?
    Answered by Iain Kelly · 19 September 2018

    The official fuel consumption figures for BMW's 120i on a combined cycle is 5.8L per-100km driven.

    I would certainly consider this good consumption as many large cars use nearly twice as much fuel per-100km.
