1993 BMW 3 Series 325is review from North America

"BMW go drive one then talk"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

This car is very expensive to maintain, or maybe because its 14 years old. When I bought the car I put over $2,000 dollars into maintenance. The last owner only drove it and let it fall apart with age. I put New Belstein shocks and struts. Brakes and rotors. Full dealer service tune up. New passenger leather door panel. The CD changer in the trunk was broke when I bought it so I put a alpine cd player in the front. New Tire. Basically after maintenance the car is really in new conditon, will run a nother 100,000 miles no problem.

General comments?

Wow this car is really fast for a 2.5 liter and only making 189hp. the paint is excellent bright red looks new people ask me all the time If I just had it waxed. The interior is so clean I love the two tone leather door panels. I still need to replace the back leather panels they were pufferd out when I bought it. I just haven't gotten around to getting them replaced because of other little issues that come up. This car is completely stock and has 16" sport tires and a stick, car handles good. I do want to lower it and add 18's or 19's and a strut bar to really make it handle like a dream. I'm 19 so me and my friends are into speed. The Bimmer is in every car conversation and it usually whens cause of the famous M power. We usually take long trips in my bimmer cause its so comfortable. Some Times I find my self on the freeway just looking to have fun with other sports cars. I plan on always having a BMW. I don't want to sell my 1993 BMW 325is because I put to much money into it to get it to look and drive like new. so I'm going to buy a 2000 E46 328ci, because I think it will be a nice upgrade frome my 1993 325is in some ways.
