1984 BMW 3 Series 323i review from Australia and New Zealand
"No other car would compare to a BMW, superior designing and engineering are the only way to describe"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust needed replacement.
Sum rubber hoses where replaced.
Power steering pump failed.
Passenger seat collapsed.
Minor electrical faults, battery not charging because of broken bulb in instrumental cluster.
Central locking slipping.
Rocker cover gasket need replacement.
General comments?
This car never ceases to amaze me, it loves to be driven hard and likes to be pushed. You can stomp on the brakes half way around a corner and unlike any other car it will go exactly where you want it. I would highly recommend this car to any person looking for a high performance car that is easy to drive as a daily driver and is extremely good for modification for track racing or just to drive for the love of driving.
After driving a BMW I would never drive another car. I can feel completely safe behind the wheel and that's what matters in a car.
