Engine has always been one of major the concerns for a car buyer and German brands are quite capable of making their impression for this, BMW318i has done the same. Quite smooth performance of all mechanicals of this series of vehicles has made it a good choice but sound while driving on town roads still bother that impact in a negative way. When you get to motorway, the same rattling sound start diminishing and suspension also become quiet. So, little bit more is required to be the best in business. It also suggests that this vehicle is more suitable for a long distance than a small journey within city. The comfort level for passengers in cabin is good as uneven road would not make them uneasy and no disturbance is felt. Sports suspension is bit hard and does not absorb road bumps effectively. Adaptive M sport suspension is recommended as at speed you would feel bouncy if you do not go for it.
Dashboard of BMW 3 series is top class and challenges the rivals with definite superiority. Most of the controls present on screen and you can easily scroll the options to choose the one you have been looking for. It is also placed right behind gear level that is in access all the time while you are driving. With help of shortcut knobs you straight away reach to the right menu to select the program of your choice. These quick accesses can be programmed as well according to preferences that further enhance utility of a feature. The screen is rightly positioned on higher end of the dashboard and it is welcomed by the customers. As this would allow the person on driving seat to keep an eye on road. The stuff used for all these is of excellent quality and the BMW 318i engine is powerful.
It is designed very carefully as person in control remain in a position to view all around without any real difficulty. You will come across this quality especially when a comparison is made with cars in competition. With this you may not have any trouble while parking and reversing sensor is another big assistance for you in this regard. Four-wheel drive is present as option but it is not important unless you have to move on snowy tracks quite often. Automatic gearbox is highly recommended because you will scuffle with manual transmissions.
Steering is rightly weighted and precise so control remains good. Standard sport suspension keeps driving composed on bends as well. The manufacturer offers three years unlimited warranty that is very appealing as close rivals do not offer this luxury. This car was leader in fuel economy but now there are even better options.
