is a 2005 bmw 316ti es a good car

maybe no and maybe yes

well yes, but it really depends on if the price is right. AND all scheduled maintenance has been done. and the mileage. edit your post and describe the car.

well the 316ti is part of the 3 series and is 1 of the most cheapest cars you can get but still is a beamer, these r really good cars that should last u a long time, but if u have problems parts r sometimes expensive
