2003 BMW 3 Series 330i review from North America
"Beautiful looks, great curbing and amazing driving pleasure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Thus far nothing major has gone wrong with the car. I am annoyed by the Check Engine light though. It comes on and off often when I drive long distances on the highway. Apparently, it has to do with the quality of gas, even though I always use Premium grade. The problem got bad enough where I bought my own diagnostic meter to reset the light whenever necessary.
General comments?
I love the car. The six speed manual is awesome. Gas mileage is OK on the highway, but not too friendly when you drive a lot within the city. What I love the most about the car is the ability to take almost any sports sedan on curvy roads.
For a BMW, the ride sure is uncomfortable. The overall package and the driving pleasure easily allows one to over look the uncomfortable seats.
