Hi Guy's

been looking for a nice rust free E36 323 coupe/ vert now for what seems like an eternity, have found a reasonable priced M spec 318is, with just over 110000 miles, apart from the obvious lower BHP, slighter cheaper ins and poss lower petrol costs, how does the engine reliabilty compare to the bullet proof straight six. My daily comute is 5-6 miles round trip and apart from hopefully attending a few shows next year it is not going to do a lot of miles.

thatl be most likly the same engine as mine, tbh there all pretty bullet proof engines, mines on 123k and has a few small probs but nothing major, just look after it and itll look after you

Never had a problem with the 318iS that was any fault of it's own engine is very much bulletproof!

If "Carlsberg" made engines they still wouldn't match any BMW. As has already been mentioned, if you maintain it well it could outlive you !
