Advantages: Great looking car. Smooth ride Disadvantages: Price. Room
. The most famous of the shapes.
The Coupe. The 2 door sporty model of the range.
The Convertible. A soft top that offers an alternative to the coupe.
The Touring. An estate for those that need a little more room.
Most Companies offer entirely different models to cater for these requests. (i.e. Ford used to offer the Mondeo,Orion,Escort) BMW simply alter their shape slightly but rely on one standard car. It works for them and I think it is the best way to offer cars.
My 3 Series is the 318Ci Coupe.
Let me tell you about it.
Styling.
--------
The appearance of the 318 Coupe is nothing if not startling. Benefiting highly from its total revamp just over 2 years ago, the coupe just oozes power. Look at it long enough and it might start growling.
One thing that BMW have done to the 3 series is round off its early 90's edges that it ...

Ciao members have rated this car review on average: very helpful Review of BMW 318Ci
Please note that the photograph inserted by Ciao at the top of this page is NOT the car of the title - it is the very different last model, soft roof BMW 3-Series.
I have published pictures of the latest model - that is, the car reviewed and which the title refers to.
WHAT IS IT?
The BMW 320d SE is a clever folding metal roof version of BMW's ever popular 3-Series. Particularly interesting in this case is that roof up, the styling is barely distinguishable from the conventional 3-Series Coupe model.
The 3-Series has always been one of the more spacious, four seater convertibles, the folding metal roof does not change this, at 4.58 metres long and 1.985 wide, it is identical in size to Coupe model.
WHICH SPECIFIC MODEL?
The model reviewed here is the new four cylinder, 177bhp 320 diesel, in non-sporting SE trim. This ...
Advantages: Looks great, good spec, low depreciation (like all 3 series) Disadvantages: Still quite costly - not the cheapest to insure if your a bit younger.
Whilst being in uni for a few years and absolutely slogging it and living on a shoe string -theres was always one car that I wanted more than any other!! That was a 3 series Coupe! Ideally a 330, but when it came to insuring the little beauty I realised given my age, and a few points that I managed to pick up along the way, that the 318 was the only feasible option (As the numbers go up - so does the engine size 318 -> 320 -> 330 etc. those chaps at BMW are very clever.)
The 318 is a smaller engine (1.8 - 1.955 dependant on year) but it is a fantastic car.
Im not going to talk about Spec and bhp and stuff like that, because the technical jargon is readily available on a number of sites - so Im going to talk about what they're like from a drivers perspective. They're quality - from the few I test drove, to the one I bought ...
