1986 BMW 3 Series 325es review from North America
"I'm glad I didn't get that Civic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The shifter is worn and needs replacing.
General comments?
The car is quick and agile. It's like a cat on its tippy toes.
The low rev limit is a drag. Get used to shifting right after you start.
The bucket seats are nice when sitting forward, but when entering and exiting, it can hurt your butt.
