1159.0. "BMW 316i anyone ?" by ZPOV01::DANNYCHNG (Danny Chng - SWS Singapore) Fri Jul 20 1990 22:38

    Hi,
    
    I just took delivery of a 316i., year of maunfacture 1990 as 
    according to the manufacturer's plate ... 
    
    It's the best price/performance/resale_value for any 1600 cc.
    class car here in Singapore (Land of expensive cars ... 225%
    tax by the government) ... 
    
    The resale value is the most attractive part of this venture 
    of mine ...
    
    Does anyone out there own one ?  I'd like to hear more on any
    idio-synchracies (not sure of the spelling) of this car ...
    
    I admit it's not anywhere near tops as far as performance goes.,
    but here in Singapore., "performance" costs a big fortune ...
    
    Can the fuel-injection system be tuned ? ... I seem to get only
    about 390 KM out of a full tank ... ie., approx 50 litres ...
    before the red-light comes on ... and no hard driving since
    its still under running period.
    
    Thanks for any advice.
    
    Danny
