2001 BMW 3 Series 316 Ti review from UK and Ireland
"A very good car and an excellent intro to owning a BMW"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far the only problem was a squeaky fan on setting two of four. It was a big job labourwise to fix, but was done promptly and under warranty without any problems.
General comments?
What a wonderful little car! A joy to drive. Not massively quick, but is nippy. The car looks good, it handles superbly and is very quiet.
Good build quality although downsides are that it didn't come with air-con or electrically heated door mirrors as standard.
BMW dealers are very good.
