1997 BMW 3 Series 316 SE review from UK and Ireland
"Quality car for reasonable money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet, so fingers crossed.
General comments?
I got a good deal on the car and am very happy.
The performance is hardly startling, however the ride quality and general feel of the car are excellent.
I have already fitted 17" wheels, and the car's look has been transformed.
I would definitely buy another BMW.
