1985 BMW 3 Series 323i review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All electrical items a bit dodgy, such as windscreen wipers, wing mirrors, sunroof, windows.
Auto gearbox failed, rebuilt and just failed again (c£1,000 a time).
Coolant sensor light remains on constantly. Trip computer had 3 new boards and still doesn't work!
General comments?
Good firm ride and confidence boosting acceleration. Nice size car handling brilliantly.....until it rains! Petrol economy on long runs is good but guzzles petrol on in-town motoring.
Debating another 2nd hand BMW or an Audi (50/50).
