I simply love it. It was amazing. Every drive was nothing but pleasure. Extremely comfortable & quick. Wonderful, classic styling too. The only downside was that she was just a little thirsty. I found out afterwards that a friend achieved much more mpg out of his, so maybe she wasn't just right.

Does exactly what the brochure says. It's a driver's car. 142mph, 28mpg on long runs, only 18 around town, but you accept this with this sort of car. If you can't afford to run it don't buy it. Interior is comfortable, functional switches, ultra-reliable. Maintenance can be expensive but it never broke down in 17 years. Regular oil and anti-freeze changes essential. Alluminium head and cast iron bottom so watch the water levels. Fun? This is the best driver's car ever. Goes where you point it and never scares you.

Older "Beamer" but still drives like a sports car. Classic BMW looks. Gets good gas mileage for a sporty car. German engineering, some of the features are hard to figure out, and the Manual doesn't tell you much. Overall, though a great car.

Automatic, shaves of a good secong 0-60 mph (about 8 seconds) Not much repairs, just common parts due to over-time-wear. Beautiful stationwagon Would expect a 2.8 litre engine to use a decent amount of fuel, 1.5 L/100 km city driving, 0.8 on long distance. It's a BMW, it drives great.. Firm handling and wouldn't guess it weights almost 1800 kg
