Slow. and if anything breaks it is expensive. So id rather put money into an expensive fast car rather than an expensive slow car. There is nothing special about the 1.8 litre in the BMW. Doesn't have vanos or anything. Just a regular 1.8.

Agree ^, but what if he wants economy and doesn't want to spend alot on the BMW. Because the bigger the engine BMw comes, the more expensive initial purchase gets.

Tomek6

Yeah. But for a '92 it's not that much more to get a 325 or 328. Plus economy depends on how hard u stress the motor. Those bmws aren't exactly light. A 1.8 in a car like that struggles thus poor economy.

my uncle used to have one...he loved it

im looking at getting one as a first car next spring what you guys think???

Tomek6

I know a few ppl that have one and they've never had any problems with it. But I don't know anything about the car itself so... Did you try any BMW forums? MaxBimmer is a pretty big forum/club and they're toronto based.

Thats the most illiterate sentence I've seen in months.

I have a 92 535i that I bought about 6 months ago and so far no problems at all except that the driver side window recently came off the track which I still need to fix.

You may face lot of problem as I found in the discussions from many sites if you cannot buy this series checking with more expert mechanic. You can visit BMW site before buy. May I help you posting a link here ? This is not sale just how to get information.
