1998 BMW 3 Series 328i review from UK and Ireland
"I urge all people to taste the 328i!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing that is a cause for concern. Bulb that illuminates the air conditioning screen blew. Replaced by the dealer at a cost of £24!!! That is the only gripe I have with this car.
Otherwise superb in every other respect. Overall the dealers are also helpful and good.
General comments?
This is the best car I have ever owned. The BMW 'thing' definitely exists.
Mine is one of the very last E36 3 Series. It was an ex-demonstrator, passed then onto its first owner then me.
The attention to detail and little silly things bring this above any car I have ever owned. It's fantastic to drive at night, the orange glow of the computer, instruments, and climate control makes you feel like you are flying a plane. Also the engine is very smooth and powerful.
The leather is still very fresh and soft, and the paint is still in great shape. So it should be for a £28000 car!!
If you have never driving a BMW it is recommended. Recently test drove a new shape 325ci, that was out of this world. Next year maybe mmmmmm...!
To sum it up, a great ride, driver satisfied, powerful refined superb car.
