I am thinking about picking up a mid 90's 318ti but they all seem to
have the 4 cyclinder engine. Was a 6 cylinder available? I have tried
to find reliabilty statistics but can't seem to find to many.
Any suggestions or help before I go buy one greatly appreciated

Yes I am new to the newer BMW styles. I was pretty sure the 318 was
just a 4 cyclinder but was hoping they produced a 6 cylinder that had
the hatchback style. All I can seem to find are the sedans, coupes,
and a few wagons.
Actually I like the style of the hatchback seems like it would be
easier to get diving gear in and out of then a trunk. Is there a six
cylinder that was offered in the US that had the hatchback?

Thanks for the input

What is the trunk space of the hatchback compared to in a 3 series
coupe. Im not entirely a fan of 4 door cars which eliminated a 5 and 7
series.
I drive a couple hundered miles a week on the expressway and tired of
filling the car up every other day. I also need a bit of trunk/ cargo
space that would get used every now and then.
I like the looks of the 318ti and 3 series coupes in general. I have
been gettting a differnt car every year now and its getting kind of
old. I want one I can keep for a few years and not have to get
something differnt when something changes (like work distance, need
for cargo space, etc.)

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cars I have had in the last couple years I owned 2 Trans Am's, a
Porsche, and 2 Buicks. They all served there purpose for the time but
Im just getting tired of buying automobiles.

In the 3 Series cars, the 3 is the basic body style essentially to the
doors. There are two doors and four doors, and there is the ti. The front
fenders, grill, hood, windshield, and front doors are all very much the same
on all 3 Series cars, thei the notable exception of the doors being
significantly different on the coupe than the sedan. I guess I am saying
that the 3 Series is the basic lines of the car from the bumper to the
doors, and from the doors back is where the main differences come between
the various 3 Series cars, and the other Series cars. In the 318, the 18 is
the Engine Size, 1.8L. The 325 has a 2.5L motor, and so on. The 18 is a four
cylinder motor, the 25 is a six. If you want a mid '90s 3 Series with a six,
then you need to be looking for the 323, 325, or 328. I think if you are in
Canada or Europe, you may find a 320 is the six cylinder configuration also.
