1982 BMW 3 Series E21 315 review from Finland
"Cheap teen cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Doesn't start in winter. Lots of fixing. Bottom of the trunk was completely rusty. Wiper motor broke. Glovebox lock broke (also water in the glovebox after a rainy day).
General comments?
Hard to find an E21 in a good condition. Generally the oldest BMW model on the road. Underrated. Cheap.
