well let me tell you i have a e36 its a 97 318ti and i personally think that it is underpowered. it is a great car except for the drivers window regulator keeps fouling up. the cars comsumpton rate is good( as in good gas milage) if i had to do it again i would try to find a older m3 or a larger 4 dr 3 series with a 6cy in it.

I have a '92 318 is, it's in pretty good shape. It is a bit underpowered, I would've like to have had a bigger engine, but I'm still happy. It does handle very well, but I just assumed that all BMW's handle well. I don't have any complaints with it (although it is the first BMW I've driven, soo...)

i have a 97' 318is. now it's turbo, about 330whp, but when it was bone stock it was alright, great gas mileage, fun car to drive.
