1993 BMW 3 Series review from North America
"Love it, can't wait for the next 3 series"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Changed the radiator, water pump, fan clutch at about 100K. Then the fan clutch again abou 150K miles. Window switch failure all except drivers'. Driver seat starting to wear, finally. Computer gets wet above glovebox in the engine compartment. Dealer quoted me $700.00 but I just took out the computer and dried up the moister from rain. Need to replace plastic cover under windshield wipers, will fix problem. One lifter is sticking, but hasn't hurt performance.
General comments?
The car seems to get better in performance year by year. It starts and runs like a clock, besides the tired lifter knock. I am a very hard driver, everyday, starting and stopping the car at least 10 times a day. I feel like the car never complains. Overall best car that I've purchased.
