Buying a used BMW! HELP!!!???
A good friend has 12-18g's to spend on a car. I'm trying to talk him into buying a used BMW. He's worried about gas mileage. Personally I'd love to have a 6 or an 8 BMW, but my 4 will do for now. Can anyone suggest a good model BMW that would be economical and would be a good buy for 12-18g's? Trying to sell him on the 740 but he's worried about gas prices... HELP!?!?!?
Thanks. Love my BMW! |

Re: Buying a used BMW! HELP!!!???
BMWs get poor gas mileage, but they make great power.
My '05 325i is getting about 16 mpg with about 1,100 miles on the odometer. |

Not on the highway
My 328ci gets awesome gas mileage on the highway. I drove from Kentucky to Georgia on one tank and I took the long way thru Tenn., N. Carolina, and S. Carolina. In the city gas mileage sux but if u can keep your foot out of it you will do Ok.

Re: Buying a used BMW! HELP!!!???
The last 4 cylinder BMW with a back seat imported to the U.S. was the 1998 318i. I have one that gets low 20's in town and around 30 on the highway. It's silver, automatic, Touring alloys, etc., 75,000 miles and can be yours for $13,000.

Re: Buying a used BMW! HELP!!!???
for $5500 i you can find a 93 535i 5 speed manual, then the extra money dump into performance parts, the bigger the engine the more gas it will consum, so try not to push him into a 740
