Buying high Mileage BMW 318
I am thinking of getting rid of the scoob
I have found a nice 52 Plate 318 Convertible....(i know, hairdressers car)
The Beemer is £14995 but is has done 66k, in its defence, it has full BMW service history and has had 1 owner
I do about 20k miles a year so it wont be long till my Y plate UK300 is at that mileage....
Any thoughts ??

318 is gutless in any form, being the puny 4 cylinder lump. My boss had a 318 convertible and that was even slower due to the extra weight for strengthening.
Minimum you want is the 6 cylinder 2.0 litre.

NOT a good buy......330 sport can be had for a grand more......318s are totally gutless, and the conv is a heavy car, so 318 will be soo slow, and thirsty too...
66k is not a lot for a beemer, but a lot for the age........go for at least a 320, but try to go fot a 330 manual sport (Ive got a 330 ci sport auto conv)

That sounds like it would be painfully slow!!
I drove a mates E36 318is the other day, and i was ridiculously gutless. I imagine the E46 conv would be even worse! Performance might not be top of the agenda, but surely it would be nice to have something with some guts!?! lol!
