1996 BMW 3 Series 318i 2dr Convertible
I bought the car to replace an 02 altima that had the same number of miles on it. I've only regretted it when maintenance work needed to be done and unless you live in a big city, being selective about mechanics isn't easy. The radio reception sucks most of the time and off the line performance (automatic) suffers in hilly areas. The top is manual, so it takes a couple of minutes to take down, but the worst part is the clear plastic window. COPLETELY UNUSABLE!
interior trim quality, smooth revving engine, great mpg, the best combination of ride and handling available. great looks too!
bigger trunk, better stereo, power seats, glass rear window
