OK, well I'm looking to get a daily driver car when I come home. I'm looking at all sorts of cars I could get. I'm looking at Mazda 626's, chevy malibu's, grand am's, stratus's, bmw's... so pretty much don't have it narrowed down really at all. BUT, I have always really liked BMW's. So I guess just tell me anything you know about the 318's and 325's. Those are pretty much what I'm looking at. Just a daily driver. I don't care if the 318 is the lowest class BMW and so and so thinks that it's retarded to get the lowest model one. So anywho, like the one above, are those years fairly reliable? Or are they known to break a whole freakin lot? Do you see them coming in and outta the dealer constantly with tons of problems? Any bad recalls or things that aren't recalled but still seem to go wrong constantly (like dsm ISC's)? Does their paint fade horribly like my 95 gst's spoiler did, and heard later that there was no recall, just a lil notice out on it identifying it as an issue. Is there a certain milage that these things will usually die at or will they run longer then a honda? Are they easy to work on? Like oil changing, other fluids, spark plugs and wires? Alternator? They are rear wheel drive right? So do they suck insanely bad in the snow? Any info you can offer, I'd love to hear!
