1998 BMW 3 Series 318i SE review from UK and Ireland
"Very average (for the money)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering rack completely replaced after 8 months.
General comments?
Well, to pay £20k for this when you can currently pick up a Mondeo new for half the price seems a poor deal. Whilst feeling very solidly put together and with good handling, it still seems as though you're paying 25% for the badge. Still, we all continue to do so (Must keep those Bavarians happy).
