1999 BMW 316i E46 [1.9 105 HP] | POV Test Drive

[@davidcasas3862]

Usually people think on BMW like the fastest and agressive car of its category...but this car and many others of the brand are the car many drivers are searching. A good car that doesn't need to be sporty...only good and elegant....good video Joe!!

[@worldhello1234]

Really? BMWs are more like deadbeats and show-offs first choice. "A good car that doesn't need to be sporty...only good and elegant....good video Joe!!" What if a good car is a sporty car to someone else?

[@Dimpet-xw9gg]

Boot space is small and looks quite boring

[@TheBrokenBMW]

Yes, I totally agree. So boring seeing vids on an M3, 335D, M5, etc etc...I salute you Joe on making real vids on real cars that most of us actually drives :)

[@92kretmg]

a car doesn't have to have a lot of power or a big engine to be a sports car. This tuning of the whole car gives it sporty characteristics. In BMW, with each engine, the response to the accelerator pedal is immediate, aggressive. There are many factors in sports cars that contribute to the fact that a car is a sports car. It's safe to say that every BMW is sporty. in addition, the BMW is very comfortable, well soundproofed, comfortable, tailored, created for the driver.

This one is pretty popular nowadays!

Among whom? Soccer moms? This is a low spec E46, the penny pincher edition. ;)

[@khstapantsog3783]

@@worldhello1234 not everyone is a racing driver of the city nor do they need or can afford an e46m3 for a daily driver.plus in some european states there are strict emissions laws so people aim as low as they can as far as cc's go in a car

[@aleksandraz4178]

Klasyk ☺️

[@PoneyGonflable]

The problem with the e46 is the fiability of many engine piece. Sensor captor, all engine joints … water pump, chain… it’s a good car if you are ready to give your engine a good refresh

[@92kretmg]

you lie. In these cars, there is indeed a problem under the hood, but the only problem is the engine cooling system. Cracking coolant tanks, cracking hoses, connectors, fan. The thermostat breaks down in every car because the timing belt is on a chain, the water pump is often 20 years old. Other than that, there's nothing more wrong with it than with other cars.

[@PoneyGonflable]

@@92kretmg that’s exactly what i said… water pump, joints… what’s the link between that ? Cooling system and coolant tank…

[@theminizaurus9]

I had 318i version. In city consumption was 12 - 13 L/100km

is this a reupload? remember i watched this video 2 years ago, and i after i bought e46. No joke!

[@rayfordham9230]

Hi Joe well done nice smooth drive, a couple of the higher up reps where I worked had these, not fast they weren't meant to be, from what I could make out, but were comfortable cruisers, they were both auto's I think. If you were lower down the rep hierarchy you got a golf or a ford of some description, But if they got the chance for any reason they would use one of the beemers if they could. A very nice motor to cover miles in back then. PS any chance you could lay your hands on a Opel/Vauxhall Carlton, 3 ltr GSI I think it was, went like muck off a shovel, got pulled for speeding on a motorway by the local police who were also driving one, we had a good laugh as he handed me a fine, he said it was his superior driving skills that let him get us as he had so much gear in his car we could have out accelerated them, I wasn't out for a chase I was just cruising at a reasonable amount above the speed limit and didn't see them, as soon as I saw the blue lights I pulled over. Thanks for the memory Joe Happy Days.

Not quite, one of the best, yes, probably, but asian cars mainly Japanese ones are a serious competition for them for years now…

[@PROFIKILLER956]

whats this rattling noise when accelerating on higher revs (4k rpm) ?? timing chain or engine bearings?

[@PROFIKILLER956]

13:58 or 10:35 while acceleration on the way to highway. I have similar noise starting @ around 5k rpm on my E90 with a N43B20A (but with a nearly new timing chain)

i wwant to buy an e46 my friend tell me that bmw before 2010 had some problem on the engine, i just want to know if its good engine or not

[@laccy666]

Im worried to buy a 4 cylinder E46 cause people around my area, say it has a really bad fuel consumption. I would use it for city driving, any thoughts about it? I were thinkin to get 320D or 330D, but after this video i considered the 316/318i.

[@NeX85]

I have 2003 316i 1.8l fuel consumption: city 8-9l open roads 6-7l

[@worldhello1234]

The fuel consumption is decent for a sporty car. How about a Fiat 500 twinair Turbo if that is your main concern? You don't buy a BMW E46 for 20 cupholders, either.

[@charlesssschapmmmann0004]

Go for E90 320d

[@TheWitac]

Get 3.18IS or 320 above my friend. I had E34 520I M50B20 and i can easilly tell you 316i is nowhere near sporty. It's just a regular 1.6 nothing more. But if you are concerned about fuel comsumption you should get something with 1.3 diesel engine. Old BMW's are not reliable and economic. They are fun as hell and special cars but not reliable and economic at all.

[@zsoltpapp3363]

Why would anyone buy an e46 for city driving, especially a diesel? It doesnt even warm up in the first 20 kms. You will constantly repair the suspension no matter which engine you go for. I like the looks of the e46 but would not buy it for daily use, its simply too old and not particularly easy to maintain.

[@remstesthd6784]

Too slow cruising highway with this is painful as it takes 1hour to reach 130kph in my opinion if you are on low budget better take a cheaper brand that offer 130-150hp and more equipements for the same price

[@Mycarisslow]

Honestly i don't think Joe was pushing it !! Yeah it's slow only 105hp but still she will go 180 maybe even 190-200km/h More then good for daily use if you not into fast cars, but yet you stil have comfort, nice size trunk and style !

NAME CAMERA

[@endlessroadie3131]

Never really liked the idea of the 316 and even the 318... I'm sure it drives like a BMW is supposed to be like but the lack of power? The smoothness? Hell I'd rather have a omega B or a passat 4motion..

[@dbauernf]

Why? This is still a better car when it comes to driving dynamics. Not everything needs to go 250km/h.

[@endlessroadie3131]

@@dbauernf I'd rather just buy a old omega B to get used to rwd, save up and buy a bmw that has the power I'd like. Otherwise what's the use of driving dynamics? Personal opinion ofcourse

[@dbauernf]

The only thing an Omega would do to someone who's not used to RWD is make them think all RWD cars drive like crap. :) Why not learn on a car that handles well?

[@endlessroadie3131]

@@dbauernf because i don't want a underpowered bmw

[@dbauernf]

@@endlessroadie3131 So you'd rather have a different under-powered car that has other issues too, like low quality suspension, rust issues etc.. not just lack of power? :) Can't really agree with that logic. Owned a E36 325TD some 20 years ago, and while it would be nice if it had more then 115hp that it had, it was a much nicer driving experience then the Audi 80 2.8 Quattro that I replaced it with, which was MUCH faster - but absolutely everything else was a downgrade (unless you're driving on snow).
