Guys,
I have just returned from a trip initially to go out and check the size of a new Nissan Micra - to replace the older 1999 model.
Anyways - saw one, liked the size, fits all requirements - all set, we now know what we want.... off we go looking for the "right one"!
Until we get to the BMW section - and there we found a few 3-Series saloons - no with a natural bias towards the BMWs - I tried persuading the rest - not that they really needed any as I was choosing (and PAYING!!)
To cut a long story short.. we saw some 318i and 316i both with 1.9 engines - so I get asked "You're the BMW expert - whats the difference?! "
[hmm
"Dunno" was the reply.... Can anybody tell me what the difference between a 1.9 318iSE and a 1.9 316iSE is - (apart from the 2 - cleva-clogs :-p ) ??
Without knowing the specific difference - I still ended up putting down a deposit [bang on a:
Dec 2001 (51- plate) 316i SE Manual, 4-Door Saloon, which happens to the facelift model, with the small round foglights and curved indicators. Its pretty basic, just has air cond, electrics, no s/roof - has Parking sensors etc.
I would like to change black plastic trim for either wood or brushed aluminium - so all advise appreciated.... Anything else I should check for when collecting?
Please advise...
