Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I just bought a new (2003) 318ci manual which I get on the 15th. Got a good deal as it was a forecourt car with leather, better alloys and cd multichanger for the price of a standard. My only worry is that I havnt been able to find any good reviews on it? Well, they're not bad but every review I have read says it's underpowered and that the 320 is a must???

	Whatever the reports are I'd be chuffed on the deal-with speed camera UK all around will it make that much difference-could always tweak the engine!!!

	Get in it,drive it and come to your own conclusion.If you are chuffed with it,as you sound like you are,then who cares what anyone else thinks (most of the time their only jealous!)

	Thanks for the replies! I'm absolutly chomping at the bit waiting to get my hands on it next week! Actually on searching a bit more I hear the engine is a big improvment over the pre 2001 model so I'm feeling happy about it all. For anyone who's interested or wants to comment, I got the best insurance deal from AXA after getting 10 quotes. Better than even Tesco's by 50 quid.
