1996 BMW 3 Series Compact review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water seal on driver's door, makes whistling noise.
General comments?
An expensive hatchback. Surprised by the above build error. Great sound system.
Good handling, average comfort. Not worth its expensive price. 3 series too common now.
