Why isn’t the 318ti front wheel drive?
Fact is, BMW has no experience building front-wheel-drive cars. Also, the 318ti is a mixture of parts from the 318/325 coupe and sedan and a European-only BMW – the 316i Compact. It was faster and far less expensive for BMW to make the 318ti a rear-drive car – regardless of what BMW says about handling.
How many miles per gallon does a BMW get?
Fuel mileage for the 2,700 pound three-door BMW is excellent. I drove with a heavy foot and with the air conditioner running, yet our test car averaged better than 26 mpg in city highway driving. Virtually all cars the size of this compact are front-wheel-drive.
