Hi, Maintenance cost for 2001, BMW 318 sei series?

hi,

I am thinking of buying my frist car, and i was thinking of a second hand year 2001 BMW, about 80000 miles, just wanted to know whats the servicing and maintenance cost for a BMW is like?

Is it expensive ? does it break down often or is it a solid car?

Otherwise i might look for a japanese model or a hyundai coupe.

I was thinking of peugeot 206 as well and VW golf. hows the insurance for all of these car? Which car is better for a fresh graduate like me?

For a first car I'd suggest a super mini like a 206 or a golf. Both will be much cheaper to run and insure.

The BMW will be reliable but annual servicing costs, higher insurance and higher road tax will really add up. A set of new tyres alone would cost you about 拢400.

they're about 拢5500 and would cost in excess of 拢400 on a service, insurance would be very steep for a first car 拢2000 at least. Defiantly think of a 206 or even better a ford fiesta, for 拢5k you would get a 2005 1.4 version of each and insurance would be around half of the BMW.
