Eyes on a beemer

I AM thinking of purchasing a BMW E36 series 318i. (94 model). I am a big fan of BMWs, but do not know much about them. This particular model suits my price range. Can you please fill me in?

THE E36 318i is a great small car. It's stylish, comfortable, well equipped and handles well. The performance is modest rather than exhilarating, but it gives good fuel consumption. They tend to consume front caster bar bushes, rear tyres and brakes. The latter can be expensive if you use original BMW parts, but there are plenty of independent specialists who can service the 318i and plenty of non-factory parts available at a more affordable price.
