1999 BMW 3 Series 318i review from UK and Ireland

"A superb car, only surpassed by the six pot"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The only thing I now have is a clutch judder in heavy traffic, and I had to replace a ball joint at 95,000. All the major parts including the exhaust and cat are original.

General comments?

A superb car, always reliable and comfortable to drive. The comments comparing it a Subaru are ridiculous, that car is just a cheap horrid car with a big engine, the interior is appalling as well, and it reminds me of a cheap minicab.

As for the BMW being a soulless car? Are those who stated this being serious? The Japanese cars are just copies of every other car on the road.
