To settle for the 318ti over another 318 series...big ? now.

I have a 318ti 96 with 92K. I'm thinking about selling it after his comment. I don't need to have the a higher end BMW, but the costs of parts and service are just as much as the 318ti's big brothers. Heck, if I"m going down might as well go down in flames on part and service right?
Just to set your mind at ease, ti's have a relatively bulletproof service history. Unless improperly maintained, you shouldn’t run into many problems with them. I also have a 96 ti with similar mileage (which I have owned since new) and I can honestly tell you that over all these years I can count on 1 hand how many problems I have had with the car, and non of them have been major or cost me a lot of money. I know that many of the people on this forum share the same sentiment.
