1985 BMW 3 Series 325e review from North America
"The only car I will ever buy again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The switch for controlling the high\low beams doesn't want to stay in the low beam setting.
The starter came loose and wasn't engaging the flywheel.
General comments?
This is the second 325e that I have owned and I really enjoy these cars. They last like no other car I have ever owned. This car is in beautiful shape for a car that is five years old and in unbelievable shape for a 14 year old car. I really try to impress upon people the longevity of the BMW cars and the cost efficiency of owning one of these. Very comfortable and smooth to ride in and excellent gas mileage.
My only negative thing with this car is that it is an automatic, but when you buy a car for $900.00, you cannot complain about the little things.
