right.. I have had a 318i, which I loved and eventually blew up, now got a 316i that has just had a new stainless steel sports exhaust fitted. Only trouble is I have now been offered a 735i, its one year older than my car at present but in mint condition, its automatic as oppose to my manuals and is full leather. My question is simple, which one is the superior car 316i, small fast tidy, or 735i bigger and faster and tidy?????
any oppinions on the 2 would be welcome...help me make my mind up

I would lean towards the 735i. Mostly because I love a sporty luxury car, but also because I dont like how small the engine is in the 316i. Take the 735i, put some koni's and stiffer springs in and you got yourself an awsome ride. how many miles are on the cars?

Well my 535i (same engine as the 735i) got about 16 mpg city 23 highway when it was stock. The 7er weighs about 250 lbs more so you would probably double your gas needs... 7er is a nice car though.
