1982 BMW 3 Series E21 review from Australia and New Zealand
"The car is fun to drive and own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The interior needs a re-trim.
The exterior needs a respray.
The viscous fan coupling had to be replaced.
General comments?
Wherever you point the car it goes, there is no under steer and very little over steer.
The acceleration is excellent, and after 25 years the car still runs beautifully.
The car has a button for it's ignition, which is a unique feature.
