BMW 320i vs 318ti Hey folks, I'm a noob, and someone stole my Imprezza, so I'm buying a BMW... I had a look around the site, and couldn't find anyone talking about 'options'. I'm pretty much sold on buying a 318ti, but I still have half an eye open for a 320i or similar... I am starting this thread in the hope that you can point out the key differences (for a potential buyer) between say the 320i and the 318ti. - The look 'n feel aspect is obvious. - The 318ti fits in smaller spaces, and is a little easier to park. - At motorway (highway) speeds, I imagine the 320i is actually more fuel efficient. - The 318ti is cheaper, so you get an older 320i for the same money. - The 320i is a 6 Cylindar, which my educated friends tells me means higher servicing costs. What else is there to consider? Here, for your viewing pleasure is my current top pick 318ti and a 320i that I would be tempted to go and look at (4hrs drive away). 1997 BMW318ti M-Series (i think) with 110,000kms (70,000 miles) - $10,000NZD ($6,500 USD) http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoser...21609_full.jpg http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...px?id=56439633 vs 1994 BMW320i M-Body kit, 135,000kms (84,000 miles) - $10,000NZD - ($6,500USD) http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoser...68104_full.jpg http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...px?id=56317459 |
I know this isn't a technical difference in the cars, even a very big one in many peoples eyes, but my girlfriend drives a 318i 4-door, and that thing is BIG!!! I wouldnt like driving the 320i even if for the simple fact that the thing is big. I love the quick, sporty feel of the Ti. |
i own i 318ti and it is the dogs bollox |
If you cant realize that the ti is amazingly hotter then that sedan then Im not sure what I can tell you. GET THE TI!!!! That ti is awsome! |
go for that one - (have your mech check it if you cant) after purchasing a 2005 xi for my wife I decided I needed a bimmer for my own SOOO---- I purchased a 95TI about 3 months ago and I LOVE IT - it has 120000 kilos on it an it runs like a dream - you need to be prepared to spend a few more bucks than your usual chev, dodge or ford, (I was sick of that domestic crap anyway) - so far I've only done things to improve the TI, like visual, fluids etc - nothing totally necessary. I'd certainly have a look at that TI but verify the mechanicals - picture sure looks good PS - the TI site has been really helpful so far for many question regarding TIs DnD |
Wow, Beamers are cheaper in NZ than Aus. |
