Does the older BMW 3 Series have an oil leak issue?

Hi,

I am looking at buying a 2007 BMW 320i Coupé (Manual) or a 2007 BMW 320i SE Coupé (Automatic). Both have 44,000 miles on the clock. My old car, a 2002 BMW 318Ci eventually gave up due to the engine leaking oil constantly. A mechanic friend of mine has advised against buying another 3 Series as he says this oil problem is an ongoing fault with the model. I would be interested in knowing if such is the case?

Thanks,

What do you think of the Kia Soul?

Hi there, I am thinking of buying a Kia Soul TX 1.6 diesel, the main reason being that my current Honda HRV, while a lovely car, is heavy on petrol and car tax. Can you please give me you opinion on the Kia Soul (2011)? Is it a good buy?

Many thanks,
