1995 BMW 3 Series 325i A/T review from North America
"An overpriced German car that needs a lot of improvement"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
4 cooling system problems with this car---Thermostat 1 week after purchase.
Next was the plastic impeller piece of junk Water Pump.
Then the Aux Fan circuit blew.
Then most recently the radiator cracked.
Will not buy another BMW, I spent more on repairs for this car than I did for routine maintenance on the Lexus in 4 years of owning the Lexus. I miss that car...
General comments?
The handling is great, fuel economy very good, but the problems with the cooling system offset any real enjoyment that I could have had with this car. I barely trust it to take me to/from work and not much else.
