    Good Points: Good Drive. Excellent accellaration and comfort. Good steering.


    Bad Points: Need a more sporty look. Perhaps having a m3 Front bumper on it. need more space for the rear passengers. More space in the boot.


    General comments: This car is reasonably good value for money and a driver with small family with not alot of carrying loads.

    We picked this 1996 BMW 316i auto estate last year for a grand. It has been very reliable when you get used to the occasional steering wobble. It looks fantastic. The bodywork is as new - very smart racing green.
    I am having to move on to a frugal Polo as I have a long commute each day. Any ideas as to average fuel consumption on this auto?

    I sold this car about 9 months ago, it was a BMW 316i on a 1995 M registration. It was a 4 door saloon and had a 1.6i engine. I bought this car just to use as a second car for travelling to work and back after having a number of BMW's in the past.

The car wasn't to bad on petrol but it was very basic, no air con, no electric windows in the back. When I sold it it was starting to get a bi ...

    My Mum has a P reg silver Auto BMW 3 Series 316i Saloon.

    Although it has done 150,000 Miles, it is still as reliable and durable as any other car. I seldomly drive it, But when I do, it feels like your in total control.

    With Accurate steering, Good power, excellent Auto gear box and a very good safe feeling to it, it makes an ideal drivers car, with room for a few passengers.

    However, fuel consumption on this model isnt that great. About 28-33mpg combined. Rear seats are limited in ter ...
