Thanks for all your help! tbh Im not really worried if its fast off the mark or what its top speed is or anything like that. Im not a racer. Compare what I'm looking at to what I currently drive (3000cc old auto) and it would be very economical indeed, i think. I dont want to go above 2000cc, and my price range is under $3000. It also has to be an auto, unfortunately. As far as I can tell, this BMW fits the bill nicely. Was just wondering if the(generally) behave or not.

Thanks for your help ducatiss. Been great. The seller says it has been regularly serviced at Jerry Clayton BMW, and he has an AA report for viewing as well, so I don't think there will be too many problems, but thank heaps for that info. Brent HARTGE535i that sounds like a good deal, except it has to be an Auto, unfortunately. License restrictions, dammit. Anything else I should be looking out for?

Gday guys, Im a new member here(was referred here by a mate) and I'm lookin for my first car. I currently drive(not my car) a Mitsibishi that is nearly as old as I am, badly tuned, thiiiiirsty and likes draining my bank balance. I've always liked the 3 series manufactured in late 80s, and I've(finally) found one that suits me. Its a BMW 320i 1988, 6 cylinder, 2000cc, 4 door, done 130,000km, has been imported from Japan. Wants $2,700 for it, which is pushing my budget. Ive got 2 mates who drive cars similar to this, the 2 door 1800cc version, and I like the look of them, although I've never had a drive. I cant see anything wrong with this car, but I thought I should ask some others who might know a thing or two that I dont. I'm concerned about the cost of insurance, parts, maintenance, and feul, all of which I pay myself. The cheaper the better, seeing as im a student(enough said ). What do you reckon? Any help/tips would be gladly appreciated!!
