2001 BMW 3 Series 330Ci review from North America
"I am becoming worthless because of this car, I literally live in it everyday"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
The car has sturdy build quality, it's stiff, but not uncomfortable,
great fuel economy.
The performance torque surges between 5,000-6,000 RPM, the torque should be 3,500RPM to the redline. (We want bottom end torque in Los Angeles)
Cornering feels safer.
The cabin is good, but lacks storage everywhere, analog gauges are functional, a little on the small size, but so dated!! (see 05-07 Subaru forester's similar pod, but better gauges)
