General Comments
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?
