Frenos buenos. Aceleracion, siendo un turbo, deja mucho que desear; a bajas RPM se comporta muy pesado, buena velocidad final (probado 200 km/h), manioabrilidad buena.
Motor: Segun mecanicos irompibles, segun mi familia, comprobado q no =P...
El interior es muy elegante, como nos tiene acostumbrado BMW, muy comodo el asiento, afirma correctamente, con elevacion de altura, pero todo manual(menos los espejos, que dicho sea de paso, estan tratados para que sean antireflejo,  las ventanillas y apertura de techo)...
Por afuera, hermoso, muy lindos faros, un aleron bien deportivo, pero que no exagera, las llantas no son de serie, pero son originales compradas a BMW...
Los repuestos, por ser un auto viejo, y ma que nada caro, son caros, pero tiene una autonomia bastante buena, como todo diesel...
Finalmente para alguien que guste de un auto agil, este no es el indicado, aunque por afuera tenga acentos deportivos, no e comporta como tal...comprobado, muy buen auto para las mujeres....

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good breaks. Accelration: poor, for being a turbo, at low RPM  it behaves poorly, like heavy...
Good final speed (200 km/h), good handling.
Very elegant interior, like BMW has accustomed us, good and firm seats, and all the commands are manual (except for the mirrors,w/antireflex treatment, and windows)....
Very sporty exterior, good spoiler, but nothing ricer, the one in the photo didn't had the stock tires, but they are originals from bmw catalogue..
The mechanics say that this engine is almost unbreakable, but trust me, it is =P....
The maintenance it's almost non-existent, but the spares are expesive...
For being a diesel, it has lots of autonomy....
Finaly, it's not a car for someone that wants to drive sportly, it most recomended for women....

Pros: It's classy, it's beautiful...
Cons: Bad performance for being a turbo, and it did break =P

Cost of Ownership - Gas can be pretty, especially when you put pedal to the metal. But on the upside the services are quite cheap.
Fun Factor - It's really fun to drive as you can really go for it in corners.
Performance - Miss my Opel's darty pull aways but the BMW will easily catch it! Breaking is awesome and handles easily as well.
Build Quality - A very sturdy car, except for the seatbelt clip that rattles sometimes, no other real problems.

I would really recommend this car to anyone! It is not an expensive car and it's really easy to drive, real value for money!!!

Pros: Great in every aspect
Cons: Lacks nothing!

Enjoy this car, its the runt of 90's BMW sedans. The 18 in 318i is for 1.8 litre straight four cylinder engine. Only has 120 hp but works plenty fine since it is rear wheel drive. I am the third owner, got it in September 2007 and put a new engine in December 07. The car now runs fine and doesn't leak a thing. Is rather comfortable for me as a driver; never been a passenger in it yet so I cannot say if its comfortable that way.

Pros: The car gets great MPG and can perform when needed. Big trunk. Put in a new engine a few months ago and runs better than ever. Not bad for a chassis with 235K on it.
Cons: Sorta slow when accelerating, interior needs to be redone, can get kinda hot in the backseat with no legroom. Its an automatic...

I think BMW's tagline says alot about it

"BMW: the ultimate driving machine"

Slow off the line, fast when rolling 0-60 mph in 9.1 sec,  60-100 in 2.4

does even better if turbo charged. Turns on a dime, and will maneuver you out of anything


Pros: Great Handling
Cons: slow take off

5 speed manual 318is, 128 horses, 125 ft-lbs torque. After market Dinan Cat-back exhaust, angel-eye head lamps, K&N air filter. Pioneer stereo, Amp and hook ups for subs (one day!).
For the 4 banger that it is, this car is one of the most exciting cars I have driven. It handles very well, braking is excellent, and you really cant beat the 45 miles per gallon on the freeway. It has a high red line and the Dinan cat-back ads a few extra horses and a wonderful sound. Perfectly comfortable, and fairly quiet ride. Looks much newer than it is. The only downfall to this 318 is the fact that it lacks limited slip which makes winter driving tricky.  

Pros: Excellent gas mileage, small, sporty and compact, easy and fun to drive, handles and corners very well, relatively inexpensive to maintain and repair, excellent for one or two people, Fold down seats in the rear make for easy transportation of skis, snowboards and other things,   
Cons: Low horsepower and torque, absence of limited slip and rear wheel drive make it difficult for winter weather driving conditions, 2 doors makes it difficult to transport more than 2.
