Default Initial Questions about 95 318ti

Hi everyone!

I'm brand new here. I am looking at a 95 318ti with 150000 km on it with an automatic tranny and I have several questions before I make my decision about the purchase.

1) How often are oil changes? Only synthetic I assume?
2) Fuel efficiency? Premium only?
3) Maintenance costs? What is the likely thing to go?
4) Any other useful info or quetions that I should ask the owner?

The owner seems to take good care of the car and it seems to be in very good shape. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Vico

from what I gather 95 auto trans arent the best and have a usual life of around 100k miles.

Not to be a downer, but two things come to mind - that's a LOT of miles and (in my opinion) the car does not really shine with an auto tranny. With a decent quantity of comparatively low mileage 318ti's out there, I'd pass on this one (unless of course it's free!).
