    Go the extra little bit and get a 320i if your starting! Dunno what the power differece is but 318 is only 4cylinder! 6cylinder all the way!

    That car has never let me down and to be honest it has gotten nothing but abuse

    And don't mind them saying it will boil, any car has a chance of boiling if you don't have it right! Watch the Coolant and change oil after every day out and I recon not a problem!

    6 cylinder is a lot more reliable alright. THe 320 is 150bhp, and will slide with a welded diff, but its hard work.

    I have owned various 320's in the past and had good fun with them, but as a couple of lads said above - keep an eye on the temp needle!

    318is would be a waste of money imo, even if you got it for peanuts she would overheat very quickly and would then cost you to get rid of her

    If you were serious about it, get an electric fan or two

    The318i and the 318is are fairly differant in the power stakes, I think the 318i is only 110 if even that.

    Either would be tough to drift though me thinks
