Question
Hi! I was wondering if 1980 BMW`s are good, reliable cars and also if you knew of a web site that I could see a picture of one (preferably a BMW320I) Also, I was wondering what kind of BMW`s are the convertibles... ex: are they the BMW 325 or are they just a variety of BMW`s.
Thank you

Answer
Caryn,
 My uncle has a 320i. He loves it. They are reliable cars but the problem is when something breaks or needs replacement, the parts are expensive. I tried to find a pic on ebaymotors.com but nobody has that car up for auction right now. You could try checking back in about a week. If your talking about a used convertible, then it would be called a 318ic or a 325ic. The 318 comes with a 4-cyclinder while the 325 comes with a 6.
Thanks,
Ian
