1999 BMW 3 Series 323i SE review from UK and Ireland

"Bavarian autobahn stormer"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Outside air temp erroneously read between -40 C and -23 C whenever it got wet. This appeared to play havoc with the climate control. If the car thought it was really cold outside it wanted to heat your feet no matter what temp the aircon was set for.

General comments?

Fantastic. Love it. It's a really great car. Quick and quiet. Handling is a little wallowy compared to E36 3 Series but it's not bad. Roadholding and manners are exemplary.
