Anybody who drives and owns a BMW 3 Series knows what it stands for, reliability, durability, comfort and good looks. In 1994, three E36 Compacts were introduced; the models 316i, 318ti, and the 318tds, with a four-cylinder diesel engine. The 316i and 318tds models were not available in the USA. The soft leather seats provide the perfect support for many a long drive. The fuel economy is also good. Expect to get 20-25 MPG in the city and 25-28 on the highways. The security that is standard on BMWs also adds another level of confidence. If you can afford a BMW, go out and get it, you won't be disappointed. Quality, dependability, safety, and good looks, all these points can be attributed to any BMW 3 Series model.
