1987 BMW 3 Series 316 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear drums.
Throttle cable.
Drivers seat worn badly.
Electric window motor.
Battery.
General comments?
The car still has heaps of street cred even though it's quite old now and the ladies love em!
The car tended to slide in the wet weather (spun it 360' at a wet roundabout), but 17 inch alloys, fat rubber and lowering it soon sorted that out.
The car has more power than I expected it to and the rear wheel drive is great fun, but it's no M3 and I bought the car with the faults above so I can't complain.
I was thinking of selling it but as I'm 18 and insurance being what it is it's well worth keeping!
