Hi Not neccessarily. The best would be a 318. The 316 is under powered and can consume more. If possible get a post 94 car with the m43 engine. They have better torque and have much of the niggles ironed out from 92 onwards. As always have a buffer to do some work as necessary when you get one to be on the safe side... A well maintained one with records would be the ideal one to look out for and always get it checked from an expert before starting the adventure...

Good luck !!!

Thank you Rukster.

U mean 318i fuel efficiency is greater than 316i? a one person who owned 316i said, it does 10km/ l in colombo... is that not true? i have a little concern on fuel efficiency also...

Fuel consumption is the least of your worries in these cars. Trust me I know, have owned few engine variants of the E36, and if you are looking for some economy and power, the best of both worlds would be the 318...

Unfortunatelly, there are know 318s in the market now. I missed one. I'm not hurry. Waiting for mine one.

Got anyone with e34? I am lookin for that model in similar price tag I'll get money at the end of this month :D

Guys budgetwise you would be able to get a decent E30. Not a E36 nor a E34, unless they need a lot of work and attention.

If its a E34 go for a 6 pot engine, not a 4. The 4 pots are under-powered and not good on fuel since its a larger car.

Good luck on the search !
