Hi. I have this posted in the E34 section also, but it was suggested that I put it here as well. I am considering a few cars to replace my Honda, and I was hoping to get a few opinions. I need a daily driver for a 25-50 mile commute 5-6 days a week that is very reliable and gets good gas mileage (the Honda gets 27). The truck gets about 12.5, so I can’t afford to drive it every day. Please forgive the non-BMW’s. And the candidates are:

94 525i 148k miles-$3000obo
1995 BMW 525i 137k - $4000
86 325es 108k -$2750
1992 BMW 318i 170k - $3995 (how concerned should I be about high miles on this or other BMW’s?)
1995 Volvo 850 GLT Wagon 136k-$2970
98 SAAB 900 TURBO 2 DOOR 150k-$3995
90’s Volvos and Saabs in general (driver’s reviews I’ve read seem to be hit or miss on reliability)

Thanks in advance,

Chris

The 318 will be the best bang for the buck commuter style...Mileage doesnt matter as much as service records do...
