Welcome to EM! My wife always wanted a 318TI. I'm wiki-ing your car's specs :

BMW Compact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

1996-1999, 318ti: 1896 cc, I4, 16 valves, 103 kW (140 PS; 138 hp), 180 N·m (130 lb·ft)
Curb weight 1175 kg (2590 lb)−1290 kg (2844 lb)

Definitely has potential with the small displacement and decent curb weight.

Is it a manual or an automatic?

Compared to others on 318ti.org, I am little under average of 30-31. MetroMPG, Thanks for the welcome and advice for the first step.
