well its got full service history so that good as it shows its been looked aftered HIp check done so thats good too.

Only ting is that cos of the nature of the car BMW 3 series are driven quite hard so just be careful with things like tracking and wheels.

just looked on autotrader u got a good deal there- got some 316 compacts on there going for 3k.....same age and mileage same too as the one ur looking at. Id go for it- its a German car too so reliable and BMW have a good name so depreciation is not as great as some cars

I'd rather be outside

Sounds good to me. Just be sure to take it to your local mechanic for a pre-sale inspection so you don't run into any surprises!
