You have one or more defective arms, but bushings and/or shocks. Replace and carry out rear wheel alignment.

Got a deal to buy a 2016 BMW 316I. Any advice. How reliable is the car?

Surely for the money you'll be spending, you'd prefer a better car. Those lower tier German cars are barely luxury vehicles. In Germany, for example, they're just regular cars.

Maybe a slightly older 328i may serve better?

Thanks, I Know that. The E46 is what i am interested in.. Which model is best among the 2005 3series?
I want something less problematic and needing minimal cost when it brakes down.. I am not after corolla fuel economy, but just enough power to enjoy that BMW ecstasy..

325i or 330i. Xi models have expensive suspension parts so it best you avoid them

Back then, i drove a bmw E30 for 4 years. And they were some of the best driving moments for me.

Coming from owing a Honda prevously, the difference was out of this world.
Piece of advice though from a 5 year BMW veteran/owner.

1. Never allow a non beemer mechanic touch your car, particularly the engine.

2. If you can afford it, avoid buying a Nigerian used

3. Be wary of your cars water hoses. Faiulty/ leaking hoses will damage your engine.

4. Never MANAGE your car. Park it till you can afford its repair.

5. Finally, if you can afford it, dont buy a BMW OLDER THAN 5 years.

My 5 cents.
As per your advice, can i buy a 2008 foreign used model?

Bmw 330i 2005
