E36 318is Vs E46 318

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Im not in the market yet, but will be as some stage in the future.

Ultimately I will be after a manual E46 330ci but going to hang on a little while to see if the prices come under the 20k mark :)

In the mean time I thought Id ask as Im not up with the play with E46's

Question: At present I have a manual E36 318is (4 cylinder). Can someone tell me if there is going to be any difference in acceleration? reliability? fun factor? if I went for something like this?

As I said, I dont think ill go for the E46 318 as I still enjoy my car. Thought Id ask so I could gain more knowledge.

Many Thanks

Brett

E46 328Ci Manual ..maybe ? Very few 330 manuals

BTW...steer clear of the 4cylinder valvetronic models- very problematic

Agreed, not a lot of 330ci mans around. Not against a 328 at all.

Mind you, im not in any rush so will be ready to pounce when a 330 comes up

May as well stick with the E36.... easier to fix, less computer'y bits to go wrong and it's probably quicker too as E46's are heavier than E36's.

Save your $$$ for the car you really want, the value of a 318i will never go up so your dough is safer in the bank earning interest!
