The question i need answered from you guys is..

Welcome...

I would advise you go for the 6 cylinder models...(personal opinion)...120i onwards

Check the history of the car (via motor plan)...that will give you an idea of what was done to the car while in the plan

On the open road with those motors you looking at 8-8.5l\100km (ave consumption...city they can get up to 11

E.g for oil service...oil filter at BMW is R150...Oil +-R600 for 6 litres...labour depends

The 6 cylinders are bullet proof if maintained well

The 116 & 118 run out of steam quick(SLOW)...(unless you a point A to b TYPE DRIVER)
