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
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 ...

Advantages: Fair price, electric roof, leather interior, CD player and, of course 'blindingly rapid'. Disadvantages: Quite expensive parts, can tend to guzzle petrol depending on the speed.
Two years ago my brother was serching for a car which had class, good looks, gave a good performance, a soft-top and space for his golf clubs. He found a mattalic purple BMW 325i convertable which gave him everything above. The only thing it didn't give him was the good performance - instead it's performance was excellent.
The soft-top folded back itself - what would you expect? The car came with black leather interior, a CD player, alloy wheels, a standard BMW alarm system and lots more.
Insurance can obviously be high for a quality motor as with the BMW 325i. If anyone was going to buy this car my advice to them would be that:
*BMW parts can be expensive, although replica parts are available at a fraction of the cost.
*It may be necessary to buy a wind-breaker, (which breaks the sometimes violent wind when the roof is down ...
