1991 BMW 3 Series review from UK and Ireland
"A good 2nd car to learn to drive properly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All four tyres needed replacing at 140000 miles.
Seats had started to show there age.
Smell of petrol was always coming into the cabin. Took it to two garages and both of them could not find any problem.
Power steering leak, £500 to replace.
General comments?
This was my first BMW, and for damn sure, it was the best driving experience of my young life.
The 6 cylinder engine sure put a smile on my face every time I started the car, a big roar and then it quietend down ready for the road.
This is not a very powerful car, 0-60 in about 8.5 seconds. What it is, is a comfortable drivers car that will get you ready to move onto something more powerful. In other words, it's a good car to learn real driving.
The gear change is the best I have encountered so far, smooth, slick and very responsive.
The interior, even though this car was 13 years old still made it very inviting to drive long distances, unlike Mercedes from even as late as 98 have the most dull interior.
I am convinced with BMW, in my opinion, the best car manufacturer in the world that combines comfort with real drivers cars.
I drive a new shape Passat at the moment, I miss the BMW oooohhhh I really do.
