1997 BMW 3 Series 318i touring review from Netherlands
"Overrated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brakes everything replaced, still not good.
Rear suspension rubbers need replacement badly.
Squeak's and noises from everywhere.
General comments?
Handling OK, but not super.
Not so quick.
Not well build, not any better than my Citroen BX that I owned, rattles and squeaks from interior and under the hood.
Noisy.
Uncomfortable.
Seat upholstery wears very fast.
Seats are just too small, not comfortable.
