	I have been very satisfied with my '79 320i. I have looked
at the 318i, and frankly do not particularly like it. I am certain
part of this is because of the new body style, but there is something
else that bothers me about the car. Unfortunately, I can't put my
finger on it.

	One thing I will warn you about with BMW's, though. The
repair costs are astronomical. Not just the labor, but the parts 
themselves are very high. I once had a dealer quote me $7 /ft for
heater hose. Luckily, the american size was close enough to fit.
But be aware that the money doesn't stop flowing when you pay for the
car.
