1984 BMW 3 Series 318i review from North America
"Hard pressed to find a better handling, more reliable car on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front right indicator burnt out.
Front right strut failed.
General comments?
Previous owner fitted car with Eibach lowering springs, Pacesetter Header, K&N filter, Iridium plugs, Flowmaster exhaust, 17" mags with 40 series tires.
This car handles incredibly well, and with the performance modifications goes very well for a 1.8lt.
Recaro racing seats and alpine sound make the interior a pleasant place to spend endless hours cruising.
