2000 BMW 3 Series 328i review from North America
"Excellent vehicle, but do your research and come prepared."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both O2 Sensors (post-cat) failed @ 90,000.
Sunroof motor and switch failed @ 65,000.
AC depleted w/no leaks @ 75,000.
General comments?
As an avid sports car enthusiast, BMW suits me well. They are not all that reliable and maintenance or repairs are almost crippling, but their products are phenomenal.
I never knew with a few thousand in upgrades a sedan could be as potent and agile as the BMW 3 series.
