BMW 318

buzzing147 · 2016-07-14 13:54:34

Hi all Im looking at possibly purchasing a 2008 bmw 318 se Its a 2.0 petrol, low miles, full history, very clean Ive never owned a BMW, and was just wondering are these cars reliable? And what the mpg would be? Currently driving a 2.0 petrol honda accord, so im guessing theyd be similar mpg? Any advice welcome Cheers

If you can go back another year or two and get the N46 129 bhp engine, service it including 4 new coils and plugs and it should be good. We have one in the fleet, an SE and it is a good drive.
