Hey folks.. I'm hoping to get myself a 318 sport within the next few weeks and I was just wondering if there's any known issues I should look out for when buying?

It will probably be a 03-05 plate with roughly 70-80k on the clock.

Any advise would be appreciated guys =)

Cheers!

-Chris

    Welcome to BMWOC :)

    As with most BMWs make sure you check all suspension and bushes,and a FSH is always a good indicator

    Hi and welcome mate. Just the usual buying tips, ie FSH, no weird noises,leaks or fresh paint, ask about accidents/repairs and previous owners. An HPI can give some peace of mind too, mind you, as with most used buys, so can crossing your fingers!!

    Just go with your gut feeling and enjoy the car!!

    cheers crofter
