Hello,
Second time poster here on these forums.

My e30 325iX has crapped out on me and am looking to replace. The reason for this is because the replacement parts I need for it are grossly over expensive ($2300) and i'm lead to believe its because of the rarity.

My question is: Are parts for the 318ti readily available and about the same or maybe just a squeak higher than other e36's ? Or is maintenance ridiculously expensive compared to other e36's?

I had an e36 325i so am familiar with the standard issues for this generation. Will a 318ti throw me for a new loop?

The one i'm looking at has a relatively low amount of miles and appears very clean.

Nic
