1991 BMW 3 Series review from UK and Ireland
"Average car, converted to amazing!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has had a major overhaul and due to the fact that the supercharger is huge, fuel consumption has increased... a lot!!!
The brake pad warning light comes on all the time, even though the pads have no wear indicators.
The sunroof squeaks.
General comments?
This car was bought to compete in the local circuit racing, but after it was finished it was still very comfortable and despite losing the sound proofing from the floor and doors, it is still really nice and quiet to drive.
As standard this car really isn't that good, but fit some sachs springs and struts, a pipercross induction system and exhaust and it starts to come to life, then if you want that extra smile on your face as your rocketing past cars that should tear you apart, fit a supercharger, and NOT one of these electronic "superchargers", they don't work!!
I love this car, and the price for purchasing, and converting this car into what it is today...£1100!!! FANTASTIC!!!
