Nice, 55k needs Evo rear lights & a spoiler IMO. what sort of mpg are you getting on the trip computer???
My mate said he got 32mpg on a run & 24mpg around town in his M3 evo..........thought that was quite good going.

It's the same with the E46 316i and 318i. Same 1.8i engine, different tuning.
Later ones were a 1.9, which makes it even more confusing

2.5ltr @ 170 is ok and rear wheel drive is always a good thing in the wet.
I think other models like the 316 and 318 are a little pointless quite big cars and not great on power.
People try and make them to be something there not and think there swish when they have a 318s, many old beaten up ones around hear
With alot of bmw cars your are paying for the build quality and badge.
Hope it gives you some happy motoring.
