Would love to have higher than 318i but im 21 4years ncb and i dont want to be paying more than £100 a month on insurance :(.

Have to be realistic.

Ive driven
316 318 320 323 328 325tds
520 525 528 540
728
Z3 1.9

Thesee all E36 models, I havnt driven the E46 yet. One thing surprised me, out of all these cars the desil 325tds was the closest to the 540, My friend who owned it a few yrs back had a hybrid turbo, larger intercooler chipped etc. and was very impressive for a desil.

Yeah I know!! Im saying I prefered the 318 smoother drive, IMO

Thought the 318s had 160hp but dont make use of it cos they are heavy?

vtr and corsa sport are slow too

Oh i thought it might have been 22 valve. I would have thought if its 1.9 litre 16 valve it wouldnt be that slow. I mean how slow is it compared to a vtr or a corsa sport?

I wouldnt get it to be a sports car but as long as its fairly nippy.

318 is a 1.8 16v after that they are 20v far as I know mate! Think its bout 140bhp or somthing not 100% tho

16v slow

Does anyone know the spec for a BMW 318i?

Is it a 1.9 litre 22 valve or is it 16 valve?:boggle:

How much bhp do you think it would give.
Cheers
