BMW 3 Series model years
Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
BMW adds a more compact two-door hatchback called the 318ti to the lineup for 1995. With a chopped tail and the semi-trailing arm rear suspension from the previous-generation 3 Series (E30) aboard, the 318ti is intended to attract entry-level buyers. A 138-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder resides under the hood, and the interior decor is rather austere compared with the increasingly plush innards of other 3 Series cars. Antilock brakes, alloy wheels and a five-speed manual gearbox are standard; a four-speed automatic is optional. Also this year, a couple new option packages (premium and sport) allow buyers to give their cars a distinct luxury or performance flavor.

Best Car I Ever Owned

1995 BMW 3 Series 318ti 2dr Hatchback
I bought my 95 brand new in Bellevue, WA.
This car has been nothing short of perfect.
I had a 12 year old son, a prairie dog with a cage that was 3' x 4', and we skied a lot!
We went to the mountains in snow, sleet and rain...we have experienced several tropical storms and hurricanes...we moved to the Arizona desert.
This car has taken us here, there and just about everywhere.
We had a … minor problems in the beginning... Never any engine problems, we have over 230,000 miles and are still going strong.
Wear and tear has had it usual issues, and we are going in for struts this week.
Still have original clutch, tranny, (got a rock in the radiator) not the cars fault.
Love this car!
Truly is the Ultimate Driving Machine

1995 BMW 3 Series 325i 4dr Sedan
I bought this car in 1999 with 95,000 miles on it. From commuting back and forth from school I have racked up 240,000 miles on the car. Since then the only real problems I have ever had with it was thermostat, rear shocks (from lowering the car), left rear wheel bearing, and the fuel pump. These are basically all wear and tear parts. I owned a 1985 BMW 325e and it had over 250,000 miles … on it. I got into a wreck with it and the officers pulled the badges off the car, gave it to me and said,"This car saved your life. If you were in any other car you would have been seriously hurt or dead." I upgraded BMWs to the 1995 so far this car has served me well. 240k with no eng/trans problems.
1995 BMW 318i Sedan 5spd review
5 out of 5 starsRick, 09/14/2009
1995 BMW 3 Series 318i 4dr Sedan
144,000k and still runs strong and tight. This is a car that makes driving fun again. It's 14yrs old and rides better than some domestic brands that are only a few yrs old! The 5spd manual is smooth and crisp, the suspension lets you know what's going on and BMW must under-rate their horsepower ratings because I have blown away many V6's with my M42 engine. I run exclusively 5w30 Royal … Purple and SHELL V-Power Gasoline. I also updated the factory plastic headlamps with a set of EURO 4300k HID Depo Glass Headlamps with angel eyes. Now I can finally see at night!
After 15 years - still a great car
4.5 out of 5 starsJoe M., 11/28/2010
1995 BMW 3 Series 325i 4dr Sedan
I received the car in high school from my dad with 56,000 miles on it. I wish I would have taken care of it better while I was in high school because this car would have lasted another 100,000 miles. The car has 178,000 miles on it now and I need new tires, but I am going to upgrade to a newer 2004 BMW 330xi. I love this car because it is fun to drive and has classic looks to it. Still … till this day I love looking at the car - it is beautiful.
