Good Day Everyone,
So we are looking for my brother for a economical runaround for University. He has his heart set on an E46 3 Series like I had. However he has taken a liking to the E46 compact. In this case we are considering a 318ti. Due to not wanting it to be too fast as he only got his license recently and only starting varsity in January.
Can everyone please give me a few things to look out for when purchasing? I know of the obvious Vanos problems and will not consider a vehicle with such issues due to the fact that I will have to maintain the car for him.
We are currently considering the following vehicle:

My biggest concern is the mileage however the vehicle does look good. I intend on test driving it in the week.
Everyone's input is appreciated.
Thanks guys.
