1988 BMW 3 Series 325i review from North America
"Great little German roadster on a budget"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car it had a bad oxygen sensor. I replaced it along with the spark plugs and the car has been flawless ever since. It runs as smooth as a sewing machine!
General comments?
This car is one of the least expensive I've ever owned. Since I live in a small town, the car had high miles and the closest dealer is over 30 miles away, I was a bit leery of breakdowns. A friend told me, "Hey it's a Beamer. Nothing will go wrong." So far he has been absolutely right. I'd like to keep this car for the rest of my life - and I may just be able to. I have even done my own repair work on the car.
