Suspension

I would Like to mention the stereotypes, which the owners's opinion about the unreliability of the suspension. The weakest link in BMW's suspension - the driver.

Rear multi-link suspension BMW 316i good behaves on corner entry at speed. Usually before selling the car owner not to spend on repairs bushes, so often to invest in the repair account to the buyer. German cars in its content are considered to be one of the cheapest, but this is not about BMW. For example, dampers and springs seldom need repair, but once I have the replacement, it would join not two and not three hundred dollars. Often many drivers complain about the shortcomings of rear-wheel drive, namely in the grip.

Front McPherson strut very durable: tie rod ends hold up to 30000-50000 kmsleeve stabilizers - 60000 km and bushings - and at up to 100,000 km.

It is Worth mentioning the ABS system. It was equipped with all the cars, but warping of brake discs and increased wear are not uncommon. This problem has an expensive solution: buy high quality brake pads or frequent changes of discs.

Interior

The interior of the BMW 316i (photo of which are presented in the article) is not suitable for people who are looking for a spacious family car. The fact that the driver is between the door and transmission tunnel, which contains not only the gimbal but also the exhaust system. The driver's seat is positioned low. Fit sport, so the passenger sitting behind the driver will be able to put your feet under the pillow of the front seat. The dashboard in this model is deployed to the driver, and the gas pedal is a floor that is considered to be the hallmarks of BMW vehicles.

The Rear seats don't quite fit into middle-class sedan. Over the engine, moved closer to the centre have decreased. The Luggage compartment is 425 liters, which is good, but all of the above affect the cabin size.

Particular attention should be paid to glass: thickness of glass with a mechanical lift - 3 mm, and electric - 4 mm. Therefore, the replacement of glass simply can not enter the grooves.

Prices on used cars

The Price varies from 4000 to 6500 dollars - it depends on the year of the car. Auto 1991 you pay about 4 thousand dollars, and for the 1996 model year 6-6.5 thousand.BMW 316i specifications

Testimonials

This model is justified by the quality German manufacturer. Lately, he's slowed down significantly in price, but the flavor is not affected. Contain BMW, in principle, everyone can do: the market is the licensing of spare parts, and spare parts used. The main issue for the owner of the six-cylinder E36 overheating the cylinder head may be made of aluminum (all models came equipped with her from 1995 until the complete closure of production).

If we talk about the four cylinder, then they aren't that durable. Often the power of the installed motors is simply not enough for reckless drivers. They are trying to squeeze out of them everything possible, and when selling is just junk.

As for the diesel versions, they upset the motorists. Only one engine is already non-repairable.BMW E36 316i

All PPC commendable: and automatic, and mechanics. They earned the name "unkillable". After 150000-200000 miles even no problems. Only need to replace the gland yoke gland of the shank of the box. After 250000 km need to change the elastic coupling of the driveshaft. If a problem occurs, it is likely that from time to time, perhaps from the "torture" many spirited "riders".

The Verdict

The best model, according to many car owners and experts, was the six-cylinder BMW E36 with a 2.5 liter engine. Buying four-cylinder has lost all meaning. Why spend money on frequent replacement of the timing belt if the car is considered to be not economical? However, motorists stress that the sedan of the third series has the elegance, strict lines and tapered silhouette.
