1997 BMW 318is manual
bought the car used about 4 years ago. It is a fun car to drive and fairly economical: about mid 20's city and mid 30's highway.
this 4 cylinder car moves along quite nicely. I have had to do work on the car like: new Bilstein shocks, brakes, water pump, A/C work
and other assorted minor repairs. the car has 175k on it. I have driven it to Tucson,Az, Montreal, south Florida about 3 times, Virginia Beach. I live in Raleigh,NC. It has never let me down. BMW's are on the expensive side to maintain but they are great handling cars along with nice styling. once you won a BMW it is difficult to want any other make!
