Hey guys, I’m looking for my first car and would like it to be a BMW. I’ve found this bmw 316i 2008 at a dealership. 116k Km on it. I would like to know your opinions on whether it is reliable and needs a lot of maintenance. I cant go over a 1.6-1.8L engine as annual traffic costs are triple or more Re: BMW 316i oil consumption Post by soulreaver » Sat Mar 12, 2016 1:54 am Thanks for your feedback, I actually changed oil today and was told to use shell helix hx7 full syntec 10w30 so I'm keeping an eye on it, car now doing 144***, also added liqui moly oil additive, I inspected under the engine and noticed a slight oil dribble on the side Mated to an efficient and creamy eight-speed automatic transmission, the entry-level 316i sports a 1.6-litre four-pot in-line powerplant that's capable of churning out a maximum of 136 horses and 220Nm of torque. The base 3er may sport a smaller 1.6-litre engine but it's creamy smooth and refined on the go. I'm about to sell my car (BMW 316i e36 '97) for approximately 1500€, but before that I wanted advise on what to list to make the car sell faster (not necessarily more expensive, just faster).

Hence, right now, the car she has her heart set on is a 2000 BMW 316i Compact. Being a later model 316i, it has the bigger 1.9-litre M43B19 engine. Still only makes 77kW, and when mated to the required four-speed automatic does 0-100 in a stunning 13.9 seconds. BMW Ireland have announced a 316i variant of the E90 that apparently is only available in Ireland. They specifically mention that it wont be available in the UK - see www.bmw.ie. It is a 1.6 litre engine with 115bhp. Must be because of the extremely high levels of tax on new cars here - almost 57% of the cost of a 2 litre car is tax of one form Is BMW E90 a Good Car? The short answer is yes, it is a good car. The E90 reached serious sales figures in Europe, the USA, and Canada, and won the Import Car of the Year award in Japan for 2 consecutive years.

No major issues. BMW FSH. 325d 2993cc consistently 47mpg. With care currently achieving 53.3 mpg. Brilliant handling and road holding. First brake pads and discs change at 97k.
