Performance- Excellent for small engine and reasonably heavy car.
Build- Cant be faulted in any BMW of this sort of age.
Fun factor- Great to drive, solid and trust worthy.  More fun to be had with limited slip diff as mine does not have this option fitted to it, YET.

Pros: Good drive and quility vehicle.
Cons: Driver and rear leg room.

Balancer shafts (pre-valvetronic) made this the smoothest 4-pot I had ever driven. Handling is typically BMW impeccable.

Pros: Sporty handling for a saloon. Smooth 4-pot.
Cons: Thermostat in expansion tank tends to get stuck. Lack of power.

I test drove the '98 BMW 318i for two days and fell in love with it. The car was so much fun to drive! The suspension was tight and very sporty. Driving this car  was a blast!

Pros: Fun car to drive!
Cons: The interior is a little crammed.

I absolutely love my baby. When I park her up and start to walk away, I have to look back at her and can't help but grin from ear to ear!
