1997 BMW 3 Series 328i review from North America
"Well build machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Catalyst died on me. (The previous owner didn't chage the air filter.
Brake light fail error pops up quite a lot
Requires premium gas 92 and up
Small back room
Need to replace power steering hoses.
General comments?
I love the car. Don't go to the dealer.
Find somebody who can work on it. I do all the work by myself (I am not a mechanic in any shape or form) I got the haynes manual and some online articles. That's it. The car is very easy to maintain.
Strongly recommend K&N air filter.
Don't try to save $$$ on maintenance.
That's about it folks...
