BMW 316 or 318?

congo_90 · 2008-10-23 23:23:07

I'm really undecided.. Around the 99/00 mark. Are they really what they're cracked up to be? I'm only 18 i plan on buying one soon for when i'm 19 and 2 years no claims.. I would love an oul M but i'm afraid of the insurance company essentially putting their hands too far into my pockets. Are they reliable? known faults?…

But the OP is only 18 years old, a bit young for a Merc I think.

A bit young for a merc, but not for a BMW? What kind of bizarre logic is that? Ive never gotten this Mercs are for older people ****e. Espiecially not with the c-class. I think a C class would be a far better buy than a 3 series to be honest. A c180 with the sport pack is one of the sportiest cars you will drive in that segment. Although they look a bit **** unless they are specced right and the Irish ones are very rarely well specified. If i was buying a car in that segment this would be my choice:

Thats a c36 which is actually what i would buy but with his insurance prices thats obviously unrealistic but you can get c200s that look just like that and at least they would be a bit different and the w202 c class was of far higher quality than the 3 series.
